You're absolutely right. I don't think he'd play under Van Gaal again - they just don't like each other. When Sky reported our interest in him, they said he'd only sign for us if Mourinho comes in as well. It's a big hint towards a potential Mourinho arrival, IMO.

People bringing up his age as a problem is a weird one esp. as he just had his best season ever. He's not on his way down yet or maybe some on here has seen him be shite this season?
if that happens, I expect every fan who has abused Woodward since December to personally write to him with an apology.
Wonder what shirt no Ibra will get? If its the no 7 shirt, I might even buy one!
390 goals in 690 apps. His statistics are up there with the best.
62 goals in 112 games for a, mostly, poor Sweden team as well.
No offence but our team are a bunch of pussies, he's exactly what we need.
And he's not that slow either.
Someone said he's slow?!
@Downcast I don't know about you but I'm fairly sure that this season was the fastest and more powerful Zlatan that PSG had.
I would love this to happen. He wont play for LVG, Mournho and zlatan vs pep it could be. Come on united, make it possible.
Zlatan is no slower than Giroud, and is ten times the player in every other aspect of the game.
He'll score at least 20 next season. Not bad for a freebie.

That's Rashford and Martials careers over then 
Silver lining is that we can watch the sheer youthful pace of Ibra and Rooney powering past the non-physical premier leagues slow defences all season long. Even better if LVG is still in charge or better still, Giggs

If someone isn't trying their hardest to win you can be sure Zlatan will be up their arses.
Nobody is asking the important question here!!
We've got 2 stands to name. Which one is he going to get?

Zlatan with Jose would genuinely make me very happy, the happiest I have been in what feels like an eternity. Seems too good to be true with our club these days.
It doesn't take much to find players dropping off a cliff from own season not the next when they get to their mid 30's.

And the Winner of the most negative poster is...
What a load of nonsense.
Only all the time.Someone said he's slow?!
I have no worries with that if Mourinho arrives. He will manage Zlatan perfect and Zlatan has something to prove in England and his hunger to beat Pep too.
Because Ligue 1 is full of slow players, right?
And "he may be technically gifted"?
No, he is extremely technically gifted, one of the most skilled players in the world. And just because he isn't very quick doesn't mean that he's slow. I swear some of you have never seen Ibra play.They can't have watched Zlatan since his Barcelona days and just assume he must be slow because of his age..
That's Rashford and Martials careers over then
Martial plays on the left and he is doing fairly well while the 18 years old Rashford will have the luxury to train and learn from one of the most professional, charismatic and gifted player around.
This would probably be the most exciting signing since.....well.....I don't know when. Maybe since we signed Rooney. Is there anything other than a vague quote to get my hopes up?
Look at him, he looks made for our shirt. RMC saying it too now, definately some truth it seems.
Sounds like one for the marketing team. He'd be an upgrade on Rooney at #9, but that not exactly hard. We are fast turning into a retirement home.
I'd be interested in some stats on his goal scoring record against English opposition in the CL, if anyone has them.
Can score from nothing. He'd be a perfect fit under LVG actually.
I watched him miss a penalty at a charity game at OT. And I've seen him as part of the biggest (size wise) and arguably worst strike partnership to ever appear against us alongside Adriano for Jose's Inter.
What a load of crap.Lvg said he is too old earlier, now we are offering him a contract. Its clear who is making this signing. Its happening isnt it? JOSE!
RMC said it originally. Bouhafsi works for RMC.
Pace is a huge part of the modern game but I reckon with pace either side of him Zlatan is more than capable of doing a job for us and even then, who wouldn't want to sign Zlatan just because he is Zlatan? Also it makes perfect sense commercial sense for the club as well who'd benefit massively through shirt sales.
That's Rashford and Martials careers over then
I saw it on telegraph and on MEN.
He just want the stats for CL, you know so he might have his only case against not signing Zlatan..... Oh my.Zlatan scored 4 against the mighty England
Surely, its time for a thread title change?
They're quoting the RMC/Bouhafsi reports.
