In a hugely surprising development that would certainly bring joy to Manchester United fans all over the world, the club is apparently now in pole position to sign former Paris Saint Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a firm offer has been made in order to make sure that the deal is completed as soon as possible. Manchester United are in the market for a new world class striker following the rapid decline of Wayne Rooney and according to reports from the French outlet RMC Sport, the Red Devils have made an offer for the Sweden international that might be enough to bring him to Old Trafford this season.

Ibrahimovic, who is now 34 years old, is without doubt among the greatest strikers in the modern era and helped Paris Saint Germain become the biggest club in France over the past few years, however his contract with the Parisian club came to an end this year. Considering his age, his contract was not renewed by PSG and the player was rumoured to have been on his way to the Major League Soccer in the United States but it seems that United have swooped in with an excellent deal for the striker that would be hard to reject.

Ibrahimovic is one of the highest paid footballer in the world and used to earn £11.79 a year as per his last contract with the Qatar backed Paris Saint Germain. He would have found it hard to find any club in Europe who were prepared to pay him those wages in spite of the fact that there would have been no transfer fee involved, however Manchester United think they can make it work and have pledged to offer him the same wages on a one year contract with an option to extend it for another season if things go according to plan. According to the latest reports, a deal for Ibrahimovic is on the table and there is absolutely no reason why this deal would not go through since there are no other clubs in the picture who are willing to pay him as much.
