English Premiership: Finally, Zlatan Ibrahimovic announces Manchester United move.

Upon the announcement of Jose Mourinho as the next manager of Manchester United, most football pundits predicted that Ibrahimovic will be heading to Old Trafford after his refusal to renew his contract with Paris Saint-German because he had expressed his desire to play in the Premiership and had previously worked with him at Inter Milan in 2008-2009 season.


On Thursday afternoon, one of the worst kept secret was finally let out of the bag as Ibrahimovic announced on his social media handles that his next destination is Manchester United although at the time of publishing, this news has yet to be confirmed on the Manchester United official website.

On the day he became a free agent after his contract expired with PSG  on Thursday,  he wrote on twitter: "Time to let the world know. My next destination is @manchesterunited #iamcoming".


In Ibra, Manchester United will be getting a proven winner who has won titles in four countries, having secured Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, France's Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie. He has previously played for Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, AC Milan & Inter Milan.

With the acquisition of Ibra, Eric Baily from Villarreal, and more to follow with news report suggesting Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected. I guess Mourinho and Man U are signaling their intent for the upcoming season very early.
