The Swedish strike legend is under contract to Manchester United although this deal expires at the end of this month.
The Mail report Zlatan could return to action for the start of 2018, meaning he would miss just the first half of the season.

On ability alone it would be a no-brainer, but Zlatan is a high earner and United will have to factor this in.
They are also claimed to be looking at signing either Romelu Lukaku or Alvaro Morata to lead the line, as they are unwilling to gamble on just half a season of Zlatan.
Ibrahimovic and Lukaku are both represented by agent Mino Raiola, who clinched three deals for United last summer.
