If you wanna dance, you better pay the band.
If you wanna get Zlatan Ibrahimovic for free, you better fork out a crazy wage for him.
Apparently Manchester United have already signed the Swede and apparently they’re going to be paying him over €256,000 a week.
The 34-year-old said that there will be an announcement on his future on Tuesday and, typically humble of him, he said that it was going to shake the world – in as many words.
“There will be a big announcement on the 7th June,” he told Fotbollskanalen. “It will be this summer’s big bomb. It feels good, it feels better than good. A lot will happen with this news, so hopefully you’ll all enjoy.”

Ireland, of course, throw down with Sweden next Monday but Ibrahimovic’s future is expected to be decided before then.
Jose Mourinho received a rousing reception from United fans when he arrived at Old Trafford for the first time as boss on Sunday, and now big Zlatan could be his first signing.
Italian journalist, Tancredi Palmeri – a contributor for CNN and beIN Sports – says the deal is already done.

He’s signed on a one-year deal for now – apparently
Ibrahimovic has accepted the 1 year contract. No automatic options will trigger the 2nd. But Manchester United has option for 2nd year

Over 256k euros a week. A WEEK!
Ibrahimovic wages should be approximately 17m€
