Great deal for me, a one year contract isn't a risk. Let's hope he has a RVP style impact. Mourinho and Ibra though 
haters gonna hate.

Hope it's announced over the weekend!
Inner muppet is slowly resurfacing
He's never had a good record against English club and 1 game against Arsenal and then 2 against Chelsea this season tries to gloss over that BUT we missed that flat track bully last season so I'm not bothered
I was certain he'd sign for us as soon as Mourinho was hired. Still won't celebrate anything until it's official.
I've followed his whole career, watched him most games. I gave up on him signing for us years ago. This is fecking wonderfully surreal. :tearsofjoy:

Woohoo! Time to celebrate. Couldn't have asked for a better BD present!
most exciting Friday night story since the Mourinho talking to United one back in Feb?
A one year deal sounds almost too sensible too!

Ibracadabra....Old Trafford. Wearing Red.
Just going to leave a video like this here after tonight's news...
Come on!
Even if he is a flat track bully against the smaller sides, we could do with having one.
I don't remember us playing a side with Ibra in four times? Twice in 2005 against Juventus I think but I don't remember the other two.
It'll be exciting to have him in the Premier League, even if it is in a United shirt.
No Griezmann, Rashford!!
Exactly. That's been our problem. We done well in the big games.
Inter. When Mourinho was manager and Zlatan and Adriano made the biggest strike partnership ever.

Exciting for the Premier League. Hope it happens.
You forgot to add - On PES 6.
Great stuff if true.
We know who is on set piece duty next season now too.
that's still a 1 in 4 record in the big games. And he was always considered to have a poor record v English teams.
I wonder how our other strikers over time compared in the big games.
Just found out after a looonggg day at work! so happy!
It's probably the thing we lacked the most this season, a guy(or a few) who'd kick the shit out of the average to wank sides.
Signing Zlatan makes perfect sense.
Zlatan is far from too old to make an impact at United. He will start next season aged 34 and finish it aged 35. The same age as Teddy Sheringham in 2000/01. A 34, going on 35, year old Teddy Sheringham finished 2000/01 United's top scorer. In the process Teddy helped us to a third straight Premier League title, and also won himself the PFA and Football Writers' player of the year awards. Would you bet against Zlatan having a similar season? Especially coming off the back of the 50 goal season he's just had, a season in which he had a 1 goal in every 2 game record in the Champions League.
Zlatan's age will actually benefit players like Rashford. They can look up to Zlatan and learn from him, knowing he will not be a long-term obstacle to their opportunities for first team football. Rashford strikes me as a confident kid. Still, it should encourage him to know United are buying someone who won't be ahead of him forever. It will help him feel he has the manager's faith and a future at the club. That can only be positive for his development.
I just hope he brings a little bit of this with him:

Also, Mourinho has another anti-Guardiola-at-all-costs friend at the club.
What's his general record like in the Champions League?
Zlatan, Mourinho and United together.
They'll hate us more than ever, this is going to be hilarious and glorious at the same time

Why do we need to worry about that?
Hope it's real. That what you get when you got one of the world's best managers.
The person asking the question is a Liverpool supporter
Psyched for this now. As others have said, we lack a flat track bully. He's a big bastard too, so well equipped to deal with the prem. Big name, sells shirts etc.
I was talking about Liverpool, but maybe it was when he was at Inter. We played them in 2008.
Adriano
what became of him?Coincidentally, the answer is still the same as it was most likely Inter.
All 38 goals this season. With every rumour/potential signing there comes a visual feast.
Normally, a 34/35 year old who'd never played here would be incredible madness.
But he's of that rare quality level, and of key importance his last season was an excellent one.
Exciting times.
Hope Mourinho can follow it up with a couple of other big signings.
Not to put a dampener, but I hope the comments from Sky about us not wanting another striker doesn't mean we won't go for a right sided attacker.

Adriano, last seen in Miami playing in the NPSL. There's a fair chance he's still looking like this...
