Ibrahimovic confirms Premier League offer: 'I just have to push the button'
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has mastered the art of football, but the Swedish forward's ability to successfully execute a bluff leaves a great deal to be desired.
On Thursday while on international duty with Sweden, the 34-year-old was asked what team he'll call home after confirming his exit from Paris Saint-Germain.
After confirming he has offers from clubs around Europe, Ibrahimovic couldn't suppress the massive smile on his face when asked if Manchester United had submitted an offer.
"Let's see what happens," Ibrahimovic said after grinning and seemingly searching for the right words as not to give away too much information.

"The future is written. I made my choice a long time ago. I just have to push the button."
The smile could give credence to a report from Sky Sports that Ibrahimovic is only willing to join United if he were to choose England as his next destination.
However, the report adds there's a massive deal on the table from China that's worth roughly £53 million over a two-year period.
He was less cryptic when asked about the possibility of his former manager at Inter, Jose Mourinho, joining United and replacing Louis van Gaal, who was dismissed from his managerial duties Monday.
"He (Mourinho) is the man to bring (Manchester United) back to the top," said Ibrahimovic.
"I had fantastic time working with him. If we will work again I don't know."
The football world will likely know his new destination following his participation at the European Championship in France next month.
