But with Ibrahimovic yet to break the silence over his future, a host of clubs have declared their interest in the former Barcelona star.
Napoli are one of those clubs who want to snatch him away from United, but Ibrahimovic's super agent Raiola has shut down talks of a potential move to the Serie A side.
“Napoli are not part of our future plans for now. In life everything can change, but I think this would be almost impossible," Raiola told Radio CRC.

“I never spoke to (Napoli President Aurelio) De Laurentiis about Ibrahimovic, nor about Mario Balotelli.
“Zlatan likes the passion of the fans and the mentality of the city, but appreciating Naples and playing for Napoli are two different things.
“Maurizio Sarri makes his choices based on his interests, but I say what I really think. He gets someone to suggest the line-up to him.”
