Confirming the news, Sweden's team manager Lars Richt said: "I spoke to Zlatan on Tuesday. He told me he would not change his mind about the national team - there would be no going back."
Ibrahimovic recently left Man Utd to join LA Galaxy and has had a good start in the US Major League Soccer (MLS). This impressive form, along with signs of regaining 100% fitness, has given rise to many suggestions that Ibrahimovic should return to the national team to compete in the 2018 World Cup.
Earlier this month, Ibrahimovic tweeted that he was likely to return to the national team. While appearing on a US television show, the former PSG player also admitted that he would return, claiming that the World Cup would not be the World Cup without Ibrahimovic. However, it seems that he was just joking.

Previously, from being a strong candidate for Chelsea, Enrique was said to be on Arsenal's "shortlist" after "professor" Wenger confirmed he would leave the club at the end of the season.
Both French and Spanish newspapers have confirmed that Enrique has met with Arsenal's football director, Raul Sanllehi, and is close to joining Emirates, and they are preparing to work together again, after a period of good understanding at Barca.
However, according to the latest news from Sport, Chelsea is Enrique's destination. This source also added that there have been negotiations between this coach and the Blues' leadership, although some final details are needed to complete.

Mourinho is still hesitant between Matic and De Gea before announcing the new MU captain. |
According to Metro, Mourinho has chosen the two most prominent candidates, midfielder Matic and goalkeeper De Gea.
In the MU squad, in the absence of Carrick, Valencia is the one trusted to be the captain. However, the Ecuadorian defender will be 33 years old next August, and the club is also looking for new factors on the right wing. Mourinho wants the captain to "occupy" a permanent place in his first team.
Between Matic and De Gea, the former Chelsea coach seems to lean towards the Serbian midfielder. The reason is that, although he only arrived last summer, Matic is respected by his teammates and has the ability to command on the field. At 29 years old, Matic has enough experience to handle situations.
