Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed that he will be joining Manchester United.
The 34-year-old Swedish striker made the announcement on his Instagram and Twitter accounts:

Ibrahimovic’s move is yet to be officially confirmed by the club itself, but expect an official announcement within the next few hours.
The move reunites him with United manager José Mourinho, who managed the striker during the Swede’s final season at Inter Milan. It was a very successful partnership, with Ibrahimovic being voted the Footballer of the Year in Italy after his 25 goals fired Mourinho’s side to the Serie A title.
Ibrahimovic is expected to sign a one-year deal with United and joins Eric Bailly as the second signing for Mourinho at Old Trafford.
The Swedish striker was top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 38 goals, as he led Paris Saint-Germain to the French title in his final season in the French capital, but failed to hit the mark for Sweden at Euro 2016 as they were knocked out in the group stage.
Ibrahimovic has won titles in Spain, France, Italy and the Netherlands, scoring over 450 goals in almost 800 appearances for club and country – and he will be looking to make an impact in England – after all, he has won league championships in 13 of the last 15 seasons with his respective clubs.
