Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Manchester United to sign ex-PSG striker



Former Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed he will sign for Manchester United after leaving Paris St-Germain.

The 34-year-old, capped 116 times for his country, was out of contract after four years at the French champions.

Ibrahimovic has an ego to match his footballing talents and is renowned for some outrageous statements, which might - or might not - be tongue in cheek.

When Arsene Wenger wanted the then teenage Ibrahimovic to have a trialfor Arsenal in 2000, he instead chose to join Ajax saying: "Zlatan doesn't do auditions."
On another occasion, after Sweden missed out on the World Cup finals in Brazil in 2014, he said: "One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch."

He will link up again with his former Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

"Time to let the world know. My next destination is Manchester United," he wrote on social media.

United, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League, have yet to confirm the move.

Ibrahimovic is yet to complete a medical and sign a contract with the Old Trafford club.
