Joe Hart and John Terry just took a collective shit
Even if it doesn't turn out great, Ed will be happy.
From the bbc website
Marketable asset
Football finance expert Rob Wilson, of Sheffield Hallam University, says Ibrahimovic would be United's most marketable player since Cristiano Ronaldo, with shirt sales alone topping £50m - enough to cover the cost of failing to qualify for this season's Champions League.
"Zlatan has a global profile and global appeal," Wilson said. "Fans will buy shirts with Ibrahimovic on the back in Africa, South East Asia - markets United had a foothold in but not the leverage.
"Only a few select few players can do that: Gareth Bale, Neymar, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo."
Not worried about this all, this guy delivers wherever he goes. And it's Jose who will be managing him. Good times ahead.
Good to see you finally come around! Why be negative about United
We're going to win the league
They did, he didn't want to renew. PSG are naming a stand after him!
Preston North End- the original invincibles of English football

Well the Derby is going to be a bit of a show now.
United have signed to play for Zlatan.
This is a marketing dream for sure(Although I have never bought into the shirt sales theory especially as thatvdoesntveven account for the cannibalisation of our other players)
But even above the marketing,we have suffered months of pain, for one day we can just be optimistic. That's the great thing about pre-season.
That's not actually going to happen, is it?
That's great
Zlatan's on fire, your defence is terrified!
Zlatan can take more.
Feck it, if Barca claim to be more than a club, Zlatan surely is more than a league.
Finally!
This is what their owner said:
Who knows if they'll actually go through with it. It would be amusing if they did though.
Says more about how fecking shite we were last season in fairness.
Do we get anything from shirt sales? I was under impression kit manufacturer takes it all.
This has come up before, yes we do.
Him and Mkhitaryan were involved in twice as many as our whole team. Hopefully that will show this coming season.
You guys easily have the best front 3 in the League now. I'm incredibly jealous. You just signed the best players in Ligue Un & the Bundesliga last season and already have arguably the best U-21 player in the world to complete the trio.
Thankfully, Mourinho reportedly being forced to pigeon-holing Rooney into the team should likely compensate for the glaring disparity in attack for the rest of us. He's that bad now.

Big coaches get you big signings.
Zlatan's shirt sales cover the cost of us missing out on CL?
Never heard such bollocks in my life.

Who'd have thought a year ago that we'd have Mourinho and Zlatan by now?
Mourinho then had just won the PL with Chelsea..

Early days twiggy, plenty more bull to come.
Surely "involved in" means goals, and assists? In which case you'd expect the entire United squad to outdo him there.
If Jesus walked on water then this is nada. Enjoy and believe and you feel so much better :-)
Yes sceptical on that but will hopefully cover most of his wages though.
If we count our assists to other teams you mean? Or do you want to count the 49 twice as each one had a goal and an assist.
Not impressed by this signing at all.
Wonder if he will wear the number 10 shirt.
We've went from Martial - Rashford - Lingard, to Martial - Zlatan - Mkhitaryan.
Can't wait for this season.

Saved my first mains post for this exact moment.

Am I doing it right?
