Man U's Ibrahimovic out with knee injury

London : Manchester United was dealt with a major blow after striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was ruled out of the rest of the football season with a horrific knee injury. The former Barcelona striker sustained the injury when he landed awkwardly after jumping for a header during the final seconds of United's 2-1 win over Anderlecht in the first leg of their Europa League clash at Old Trafford on Friday. Following the final whistle, Ibrahimovic received lengthy treatment and subsequently limped off the pitch and down the Old Trafford tunnel to be replaced by Anthony Martial at the beginning of extra-time. The 35-year-old's absence might hit the Jose Mourinho-led side hard as they are looking for a top-four finish in the Premier League and victory in the Europa League in the final weeks of the season. Ibrahimovic, who arrived at United from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer last summer, has smashed a total of 28 goals in all competitions, including a brace in the League Cup final triumph over Southampton. —ANI-
