Zlatan Ibrahimovic has told the world his secret: He’s joining Manchester United.
The enigmatic Swedish striker said Thursday on his official Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts that his next club will be the English Premier League giant. Ibrahimovic would be joining as a free agent, with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expiring in the offseason.
“Time to let the world know. My next destination is ManUtd,” the 34-year-old Ibrahimovic told his 3.74 million followers on Twitter above an image of United’s club badge. He said the same on his Instagram account.
Sections of the British media are reporting that Ibrahimovic will join on an initial one-year deal.
Ibrahimovic, who retired from international duty with Sweden after his country’s group-stage exit from the European Championship last week, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks. He told a news conference while on international duty last month that he had made a decision on his next club, but would not elaborate.
Ibrahimovic would be linking up with former coach Jose Mourinho, who got on well with the pony-tailed forward during their time together at Inter Milan in the 2008-09 season.
