Zlatan Ibrahimovic to hold press conference tomorrow
PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will hold a press conference tomorrow in Stockholm as part of the pre-EURO 2016 Swedish training camp at 12:15 CET.
He will undoubtedly be asked about his future, but he is unlikely to give any indication as to where he will be next season.
This press conference is not out of the ordinary when Zlatan is with the Swedish national team and has nothing to do in itself with the player’s future.

Being a bit better than Lingard is not exactly a high bar and he isn't the top pro and hard worker Lingard is, on top of that his pace isn't worth much when aligned to average everything else, much like Theo Walcott.
Shame LvG's not still here. Would love to see him telling Zlatan to take a touch before shooting.
Guardian says he wants £220k a week. I thought it would be higher
He's basically working for free then.
He has that CR7 confidence about him where he seems sure he can score from anywhere on the pitch.
That's what his salary was at PSG (€15m per year)
Hes shiteYou think Januzaj is a donkey!Thats absolute madness, the strongest part of him game is definitely technical so ive no idea how youve formed that opinion.
"They (the danes) told me that I should retire...but I sent their whole country into retirement tonight".
Exactly. And don't you think it's quite handy to have a player like that in our team? Cause we don't really have many of those, do we? The thing about that too is that it can affect the players around him in a positive way knowing they have a player in front who can score from almost every angle there is on that pitch. Not only that, but he has the winning mentality like @Downcast mentioned in his post above(quite from Ancelotti himself) which is also is extremely important in a club like ours - specially now when we don't have lots of players with this type of mentality anymore.
That's because he actually can. Or maybe it's the other way around. In any case, it'd make a nice change from all the pussyfooting around the penalty box we've grown accustomed to under Van Gaal. Zlatan will show the rest of the squad how it's done.
He's not a bit better he's far better than Lingard as I said. He is far better than you are given him credit for. Would be a revelation in our team.
I don't think he is far better and I would say you are massively overestimating him, he's the type of player that goes to Russia for a big payday like Hulk from Porto.
1. Let's say they don't have the same profile & style of play. Great teams have diversity
2. In April, he has turned down an offer to earn a tax-free 70million euros a year (£56.1million) to play in China.

I was talking about Mane, not Ibra.
Sorry!
Nothing the matter with getting a pay day. Look at Becks and MLS. But Mane is night and day to Lingard I believe his assets would add massively to our team.
Becks went there at the end of his career, I could see Mane doing it now just like Hulk or Alex Textiera. I don't see him and Lingard as night and day, Lingard is a team player and a clever one, Mane is all pace and goes missing for games at a time. The thing is I am not suggesting we start with Lingard next season, I am saying we should aim a lot higher than an unprofessional mercenary who is not much better than what we have.
I am not in a position to compare Mané with Lingard.
However, I understand Mané is much more experienced (72 games with Southampton in the last 2 seasons: automatic starter).
So, Lingard has more 'upside potential'

I have never been more excited about a transfer in my life. I am desperate for us to sign him, it will be absolutely amazing. I can't believe there are actually United fans that have watched us over the past few seasons that are against us signing Zlatan fecking Ibrahimovic. He is everything we have been missing of late; attitude, flair, skill, power. IT'S ZLATAN FFS!
Is there a better CF inside the box? His composure, height and acrobatics gives him an extra dimension that strikers like Suarez, Aguero and Lewandowski lack. These are all great finishers who will give you tons of goals, but inside the box, Zlatan is something special. I also don't think that there is a center forward out there with a better long-shot.
There are only 3-4 center forwards right now that can be compared to Zlatan, and that is Suarez, Augero, Benzema and Lewandowski. Suarez is obviously better than Zlatan, but I'm not so sure about the other 3. Regardless, they all have one thing in common: we're never gonna get them. TLDR; Zlatan is the best CF we can get. It's not a long-term signing, and we definitely need an AM/winger(like Griezmann) as well. But there shouldn't be any doubt that Zlatan is a signing of epic proportions.

38 goals and 13 assists in 29+2 league games speaks for itself.
5 goals and 3 assists in CL isn't too bad either.
He has the best numbers in the world this season, better than CR7, Messi, Suarez and Neymar. One could argue that it's easier doing it in Ligue 1 than in Liga BBVA, but then again it might be easier doing it in a team like Barcelona or Real where you're surrounded by better players.
Not saying he has been the world's best player this season, but he isn't far off. Best striker in the world? Maybe. There's not much between him and Suarez.
Those who do not want him here are mentalists.

Couldn't disagree more
Mane is way better than Lingard. I'm surprised anyone would think they are close in ability
"You took the words right out of mouth" *clap clap* "It must have been when I was...".
Couldn't agree more. I think with Martial and another pacey forward next to him, he would tear up the PL.
Additional note - That overhead against England... Legendary.
Mané is an attacking midfielder with better technical skills, passing skills & creativity. A more confirmed player. The future will tell us if he is able to be successful with a greater club.
Lingard is more a forward: if he has the chance to train with Zlatan, he will understand that he has to work harder to achieve his full potential.
Strange nothing has moved forward it seems on this despite looking done few days ago.
Shouldn't be that complicated considering he's on free but then Raiola is his agent.

A few years ago I was trying to make that argument for Van Persie, then I came across Zlatan's goal collection.
If he's really joining us, would be a little weird announcing while we are still officially managerless.
It's likely all our time and effort is currently focused on getting the Mourinho deal completed.
Not that I don't think we can do the two concurrently, it's just more likely any dealings with him have been put on hold temporarily.
Could have sworn this was an Ibra thread but some muppets are discussing Mane and Lingard.
I want Ibra here, bring him Jose. Briiiiiing him!

Lingard's finishing ability is really awful from what I've seen this season so I don't think he has a future as a forward. Overall he is very limited player...reminds me of when we had Cleverly starting games here.
Too much Mane/Lingard bollards.
Let's watch Zlatan make an absolute spoon out of Hart again instead
