HONG KONG: The surgeon who saved Zlatan Ibrahimovic's knee says the Manchester United star is "one of the top athletes I've ever touched" and has "many years" left at the top, as he confirmed he'd like to do research on the Swedish star.

In his first interview since he and colleague Volker Musahl successfully performed surgery to repair the striker's anterior cruciate ligament, Dr Freddie Fu Hou-koeng said the 35-year-old was in magnificent physical condition and would make a full recovery.
