Manchester United are nearing a deal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic
According to Sky Sports, Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic will undergo a medical with Manchester United after his Euro 2016 campaign ends.
United snapped up their first signing of the Jose Mourinho era last week, as Ivorian defender Eric Bailly joined the Red Devils in a huge move from Spanish side Villarreal.
Whilst Bailly is a promising young centre back, he wasn’t quite the big-name signing many expected to kick off the Mourinho era – but a huge deal could be just around the corner.
Sky Sports report that United are planning a medical for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, ahead of his big move to reunite with former boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic, 34, is a free agent having left Paris Saint-Germain, where he smashed an astonishing 156 goals in 180 appearances, winning 12 trophies in the process.
The Swedish international, currently playing for his country at Euro 2016, has hit 392 goals in 677 domestic games, as well as 62 goals in 114 caps for Sweden, making him one of the most legendary and recognisable strikers in world football.
Now, it’s reported that Ibrahimovic has agreed terms on a one-year deal with United, where he will link up with new boss Mourinho again, having previously worked together at Inter Milan.
United are now planning a medical for the veteran striker once his Euro 2016 campaign is over, with no issues expected to arise – meaning we could soon see the second signing of the Mourinho era at United.
