Superstar Journeyman Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be set to become a Manchester United player as early as next week!
The 34-year-old PSG striker had earlier confirmed that he would leave the club at the end of the season, as his contract expires this June. If reports from reputed Italian Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio are to be believed, Zlatan could be set to sign for English powerhouse Manchester United.
Di Marzio went on to add that Zlatan and his representatives are most likely to arrive in Manchester on July 1 to pen a one year deal with the Red Devils and reunite with his Inter Milan manager, Jose Mourinho.
Exciting times are ahead for Manchester United fans, and they took to Twitter to react to the news.
Welcome to United, Zlatan. #MUFC
