Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to fly to England next week to finalise a one-year deal with Manchester United, according to Sky Sports.
The former Ajax, Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain striker is now available for talks after he retired from international duty following Sweden’s exit from Euro 2016.
‘Ibra’ is set to link up with Jose Mourinho once again, undergoing a medical at some point over the next week.
The 34-year-old looks to be in good shape, even though he failed to get on the scoresheet in Sweden’s three group games.
Now that United have missed out on Swiss 19-year-old Breel Embolo, who has joined Schalke, Ibrahimovic’s signing is even more crucial.
If the Old Trafford faithful are demanding anything next season, it’s a breakaway from Louis van Gaal’s mundane brand of football.
Ibrahimovic is anything but boring, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to deliver on the pitch as well as providing the entertainment off it.
