Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be sidelined for a month with a knee injury, manager Jose Mourinho said.
The former Sweden international was not in Saturday's squad as Mourinho's men were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Southampton at Old Trafford - United’s third successive draw.
Ibrahimovic was re-signed by United in the summer, having departed the club at the end of last season, and overcame meniscus and cruciate ligament damage to return to action in late November.
