Ibrahimovic completes Man United signing
Manchester United have completed the signing of out-of-contract striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year deal.
The 34-year-old capped 116 times by Sweden, left French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of last season.
“I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and looking forward to playing in the Premier League,” he told the club’s website.
Ibrahimovic is United’s second signing of the summer after Villarreal defender Eric Bailly joined for £30m.
The former Barcelona and Juventus player has scored 392 goals in 677 games and won a trophy every season of his career since 2001, including 13 league titles.
Last season was his most prolific, scoring 50 goals in 51 matches, a record for PSG. His tally of 38 league goals was also a club record.
In his four seasons at the French club, he won 12 trophies, including the domestic quadruple twice. On announcing he was leaving the Ligue 1 club, he tweeted: “I came like a king, left like a legend.”
Ibrahimovic added: “I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England.”
