Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent Mino Raiola says the Manchester United striker has had successful knee surgery in the USA and he “will make a full recovery”.
The 35-year-old suffered cruciate knee ligament damage in a Europa League win over Anderlecht on 20 April.
But Raiola stressed in a statement that the Sweden international’s injury was not career-threatening.
Ibrahimovic is coming to the end of a one-year contract at Old Trafford, and is yet to agree an extension.
He scored 28 goals this season, after joining United on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain last summer, and has begun rehabilitation in Pittsburgh where the operation took place.
Meanwhile, Luke Shaw will see a specialist to determine how bad the foot injury he sustained against Swansea is after a scan on Monday revealed he has ligament damage.
The 21-year-old England defender left the field after nine minutes of Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
United boss Jose Mourinho, who criticised Shaw in April, said he expected him to have a ‘big injury’.
Centre-back Eric Bailly was also forced off injured against Swansea.
He joins a casualty list that includes fellow defenders Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo.
