Report: Manchester United to sign Ibrahimovic on 1-year deal

Manchester United will sign free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year contract before Sweden's first Euro 2016 match June 13, according to Sky Sports' Andy Burton.

Reports of a reunion with Jose Mourinho have intensified since the Portuguese formally succeeded Louis van Gaal on the Old Trafford bench.

The two worked together during the 2008-09 campaign at Inter, and Ibrahimovic said he had a "fantastic" time with Mourinho.

Sources told Burton that Ibrahimovic is the only striker on Mourinho's wish list, despite the emergence of Marcus Rashford in recent months.

Rashford would still get opportunities to play, according to Burton, but it's thought that signing Ibrahimovic would give United a chance to win the Premier League next season.

The 34-year-old Swede himself confirmed to reporters last month he'd already decided where he would play.

"The future is written. I have made my choice a long time ago. I just have to push the button," he said in May.

There were also options in Italy and China, and agent Mino Raiola had indicated that a "surprise" could be in store, but it appears Ibrahimovic will instead become United's first major signing of the summer.
