Roy Keane wants to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic sign for Manchester United, on one condition

One fiery character on another

Roy Keane doesn’t offer comments on Manchester United’s transfer targets often, but one man has bucked that trend.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to United is an early frontrunner for the longest transfer saga of the summer and the Swedish striker isn’t exactly trying to dispel the rumours.

And former Red Devils captain Keane believes that the move makes sense for all involved.

Keane reckons that the Swedish free agent, against whom the Republic of Ireland will play at Euro 2016, would be the ideal signing for United on a single-year contract.

“I think he would be a good signing on a one-year deal,” Keane told ITV Sport last weekend.

“He is a big player, a big character.

“I have said that United have been lacking a few characters and he would be a good fit there.”
