Crazy?

You may think this suggestion crazy.

But with only a week or so left of the transfer window Manchester United may have to look at what deals are possible rather than their ideal acquisitions.

While Pedro has now gone to Chelsea, Manchester United may struggle to bring in another forward.

Thomas Muller remains off limits for now and a deal for the German may ultimately elude Manchester United in this window.

So will they cast their eye over Zlatan?

Louis van Gaal has said that Chicharito will be his second striker this season but if Wayne Rooney’s poor form continues LvG may reevaluate.

He could, of course play Rooney at number ten if he finds another top quality number 9.

And rumours over the last week have suggested that Manchester United may make a move for Zlatan.

The 33 year old – who won The Golden Foot award in 2012 for his service to the sport – is reportedly surplus to requirements at PSG and we actually think that he could be a super addition in the short term.

He was superb in pre-season against United and still has much to offer with his superb frame and athleticism.

You never quite know how players will gel – Rooney and Zlatan could get in each others’ way and neither have lightning pace any more.

But, for one season and one season only, Zlatan and Wazza could play together up top with Mane and the scintillating Memphis providing the ammo.

So here is how United could line up if Zlatan did arrive along with newly linked Sadio Mane.

Manchester United fans: a title winning side?
