Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he will not stand in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's way if he wants to leave Old Trafford.
The veteran striker, currently sidelined with a knee injury, has been linked with Los Angeles Galaxy.
"Zlatan is in the last year of his contract," Mourinho said. "If, if, if - and he said nothing to me - but if, if, if that is true, and Zlatan wants a future in another club in another country, we are here to help and create conditions to help, not to make his life difficult."
Ibrahimovic, 36, signed a one-year contract extension last summer but has been limited to just seven appearances this term by injury.
Asked about suggestions Ibrahimovic could leave, Mourinho said at a press conference: "He told me nothing about it. The first time I read something about this is from you, I read from somewhere or saw on some TV channel, he never mentioned that to me, so I don't know."
Mourinho has also expressed hope that Marouane Fellaini could sign a new contract. The Belgium midfielder is in the final year of his present deal and there has been speculation he too could move on.
"He's a very important player for me," Mourinho said.
"He's a great professional who is giving everything he can to help the team and there is a desire from myself, the board and the player to stay together, that's our objective.
"Are we going to agree? I don't know. What I know is myself, the board and the player would like to have a happy end."
