"I don't know how long I have left", Zlatan Ibrahimovic told BT Sport prior to Manchester United's second leg match against Anderlecht.

Although there's no date for either Rojo or Ibrahimovic's return United have confirmed that the pair will be missing for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old, who scored an extra-time victor in United's Europa League quarter-final tie against Anderlecht on Thursday night, is reportedly being lined up by Aidy Boothroyd for the European Championships in Poland despite having already played for the England senior squad.

The Belgium worldwide, who is now the Premier League's leading scorer with 24 goals, has been most strongly linked with a return to his previous club Chelsea in recent times. Experts within the club, however, suggest that he will not play again at the highest level again.

With matches against Man City, Arsenal, Spurs and the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo to come in the next few weeks, United supporters will be hoping that the injuries to Rojo and Ibrahimovic aren't worse than feared.

The same can't be said for Martial, who has fallen well out of favor with Jose Mourinho.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reportedly been an MLS transfer target for years, but his future is in doubt after he suffered a serious knee injury in Manchester United's Europa League quarterfinal victory over Belgian side Anderlecht at Old Trafford on Thursday.

According to The Mirror, United will offer him full medical support to save his career, but have withdrawn the one-year contract offer they made to him earlier in the season.

Ibrahimovic joined United on a free transfer a year ago, and his current deal runs out at the end of this season.

Juan Mata, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are already on the sidelines at a crucial point in the season, with United chasing Europa League glory and a top-four Premier League finish. But they are important injuries. I just want the player to recover the best he can.

"I'm not thinking about it".
