I could see him going to Qatar if no-one else in Europe would pay his wages hell want.

We would though. PSG would of. Real possibly would if they get rid of Benzema. Chelsea would too id imagine.
 
It's one of those where my heart wants him but my head says no.

Don't doubt his ability, just don't want another player past their expiry date (Rooney, Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Falcao). Also he would demand huge wages so would probably always start.

Am I being spoilt by saying we should get Greizman/ Aubemeyang?

Spoilt because you want game changing players in the club for a change ? Give me a break... After Memphis and Di Maria fiasco we should be demanding some serious reinforcements and this is exactly why we're hiring Jose Mourinho, also to introduce idea of DoF who would also help substantially reaching players like Griezmann/Aubemeyang.

One phone call from Maureen and Zlatan may be set to join but we obviously need to wait for appoitments to happen... hopefully not too long.

Griezmann? About to renew his contract. 99% he will stay in Spain.
Aubameyang? His dream is to join Real Madrid. He's the top priority of Guardiola. In any case, let's say his market value is superior to € 70-80 millions. Tough battle to sign him.

I think it's unfair to claim someone who just scored 50 goals this season is past their sell by date.

Don't think we will be able to attract Griezmann or Aubamayang. One seems happy to stay for another season and the other Dortmund won't sell this summer as they are losing Hummels.

Realistically it would be Ibrahimovic or maybe someome like Lukaku for £65m. Choice is pretty clear to me

Not a laughing matter. Aftonbladet is the biggest newspaper in Sweden and Scandinavian media generally don't invent stories out of nothing. They stress that they haven't had their information confirmed yet but I'd say there's reason to be intrigued.

Worth noting that it's supposedly a player/coach role.

Alright, that's more plausable. I'm swedish, though. I'm quite aware of how that "newspaper" operates so i'd still take it with a pinch.

I'd still say that a major story from one of the biggest newspapers in Denmark/Sweden/Norway holds way more credibility than your average Mail/Mirror/Independent article. That said, if Aftonbladet truly believed in this story, it would have been splashed all over their website, which it is not. They're promoting it quite modestly so they probably don't feel too sure themselves. Either way, seems very likely that Zlatan will be at OT next season, in whatever capacity.

I fecking hope so mate.
 
Ibra will be here as a player, anything other is ridiculous. He wont end his career this summer and he is not a cheerleader yet.

Sillyseason is just what the summer window is called in Sweden. Anyway, Aftonbladet is a click-bait shite paper.

It's a shit paper alright but I maintain that they don't pull stuff out of their asses like The Sun/Mail/Mirror/Daily Star etc. But again, it's clear they don't really want to put their credibility behind this story as of yet, hiding it away in a transfer gossip blog.

They usually don't invent stuff (they have no insight of their own whatsoever) but they recircle anything despite the source and then just label it as "unconfirmed." That way they still get clicks but without their reputation being tarnished. Parasites.
 
He's coming with Mourinho, and it'll be fantastic :drool:

No chance will he go to rot in Qatar yet, maybe in 2020.

Aftonbladet is a joke and it's about time people understood that. They don't know a fecking shit more than a redcafe user who spend working hours of finding gossip on twitter and websites like dailymail and football365.

You can go by their office in Stockholm and have a look. It's just a bunch of hipster geeks who scan the web. There are no agents or sources contacting this crap paper. They don't even write their own stories but copy them straight from BBC.

In reality Aftonbladet is a commercial wall where the owners promote their e-services that they have interest in such as dating sites, tv-channels (that's why it's so much writing about nothing shows), etc. Actual news is totally secondary to them.
 
I'd be fecking fuming if we finally were to sign Zlatan but robbed of the opportunity to see him on the pitch in a United shirt.

4 months in the last 4 seasons I would say

2014/15: maybe 3 months out

He played 180 games in 4 years

Excellent! His goalscoring record is impeccable, and looks like he's always taking care of his fitness level.
 
2 seasons as assistant then a couple seasons as player for LA/Miami lel. Of course he'll come to play.

Hopefully this transfer is confirmed quickly after Mourinho.
Would be a heck of a start to proceedings.
 
Stop quoting Sportladet. First of all, it's in their Silly Season section which basically should be renamed to "Stirr as much shit as you can season". Second of all, they can't even confirm their own sources. You mind as well randomly quote @SteveJ and be better off.

:D
 
Apparently he's expected to sign according to Jason Burt and James Ducker:

Jose Mourinho is expected to make Paris St-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic one of his first signings as Manchester United manager as the club prepare to confirm in the next 72 hours that the Portuguese has succeeded Louis van Gaal.

Jorge Mendes, Mourinho’s agent, is due to leave China on Monday with a view to arriving in England the following day to finalise the personal terms of the former Chelsea manager’s contract with United’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward.
