Ibrahimovic refutes retirement rumours: 'I decide when it's time to stop'

Have no fear, football fans: Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn't retiring just yet.

In the days since he was diagnosed with a season-ending knee injury, various outlets have suggested the Manchester United striker is ready to hang up his boots for good.

Ibrahimovic ended speculation Sunday when he posted a brief message on Instagram - accompanied by a photo of his very vascular thighs - insisting he's not giving up on football:

First of all, thank you for all the support and love. Its no news I got injured so I will be out of fotball for a while. I will go through this like everythings else and come back even stronger. So far I played with one leg so it shouldn't be any problem. One thing is for sure, I decide when its time to stop and nothing else. Giving up is not an option. See you soon
