Zlatan Ibrahimovic has warned Manchester United that he has no intention of “wasting time” at the club as the uncertainty over his Old Trafford future persists.

The Swedish striker scored an stoppage-time penalty in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Everton to earn a point for an out-of-sorts United, notching his 27th goal of the season in the process.

Ibrahimovic signed a one-year contract the option of a further year’s extension upon arriving on a free transfer last summer, but he is yet to confirm where he will play next season.

Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Ashley Young – 7 out of 10 Offered more offensively than most and tested Everton’s defence with several crosses, but his team-mates failed to make them count. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Marcos Rojo – 4 out of 10 A more assertive centre-half would have clattered Jagielka and won the header that lead to the goal. Too often, Rojo is not that centre-half. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Eric Bailly – 6 out of 10 Dealt with Lukaku in the brief moments he threatened United’s backline on a largely quiet night for the hosts’ defence. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Daley Blind – 5 out of 10 Ineffective going forward first half, hauled off for Paul Pogba at half-time. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Ander Herrera – 7 out of 10 One of United’s brighter sparks but even so, should have done better than hit the bar when latching onto the rebound of Blind’s first half free-kick. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Michael Carrick - 6 out of 10 Struggled to have an impact and often too conservative in his passing when United needed a fresh impetus. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Marouane Fellaini – 4 out of 10 The many United supporters who believe he simply should not be in this team had their arguments boosted. Offers little more than a target on set pieces and a mistimed tackle. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Jesse Lingard – 4 out of 10 Like Fellaini, a display to fuel his critics. Wasteful in the first-half, largely anonymous in the second. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 5 out of 10 Still misses far too many opportunities for a frontman of his quality. Could have got United off to a perfect start but fluffed his lines. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Marcus Rashford – 4 out of 10 A night where his relative inexperience showed. Has good grace and plenty of time on his side to improve, at least. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Joel Robles – 8 out of 10 Recovered from a shaky display in the Merseyside derby to impress. Best save came when acrobatically denying Blind from a free-kick. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Mason Holgate – 7 out of 10 Mature performance from the youngster. Poked a low cross away from Rashford’s toes to keep it 1-0 towards the end of the first half. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Phil Jagielka – 7 out of 10 A quite remarkable finish for his goal and coped well defensively, although aided by United’s lack of pace in forward positions. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Ashley Williams – 4 out of 10 It was all going so well until that late handball. The Wales international wins a lot of plaudits, but this was another mistake in a debut Everton season peppered with them. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Leighton Baines – 6 out of 10 Played his part in a solid defensive display, but would perhaps have had more problems if facing the rested Antonio Valencia. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Idrissa Gueye – 6 out of 10 Swept up and stifled United attacks alongside Barry, though Herrera had the better of him at times. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Gareth Barry – 8 out of 10 The key man in Everton’s backs-to-the-wall resistance, did not mind getting a little dirty. Will have enjoyed one ‘experienced’ challenge on Rashford. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Tom Davies – 7 out of 10 No doubt buoyed by his new contract, the youngster was much better than at Anfield. Showed movement and intelligence breaking into the final third. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Ross Barkley – 6 out of 10 Another player who improved from Anfield, but in Barkley’s case it was not hard. If you’re being harsh, showed little creativity, but battled well. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Kevin Mirallas – 6 out of 10 Brought more invention to the line-up having sat out the majority of the derby. He and Lukaku were not on the same wavelength at times, however. Manchester United 1 Everton 1 player ratings Romelu Lukaku – 5 out of 10 At times guilty of not holding the ball up well enough and inviting pressure on his team, but his all-round display was an unselfish one for the cause.

“A lot of things have to be settled,” Ibrahimovic, who has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy, told MUTV. “It's not like I'm 20 and I have another five or 10 years.

“Probably I have one, two, three years so everything depends on what you want and what the club wants, what the vision of the club is because I said from day one I didn't come here to waste time, I came here to win.



“If you want to win bigger then you have to create bigger,” he added. “I came here without the Champions League. I came here with the team as it was. It was not a team that was favourite to win.
