Zlatan Ibrahimovic ratchets up Manchester United rumours with press conference admission

On the move

Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Premier League?

We can’t imagine the 34 year old Swede would compliment the high-pressing style of Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur, and we doubt he’d like a reunion with Pep Gaurdiola at Manchester City.

However, it’s possible Ibrahimovic could do a job for a season for either Manchester United or Chelsea, two high profile clubs currently experiencing a downturn in fortunes on the field.

Could Zlatan revitalise either side? Or is he better off taking his talents to China or MLS?

It appears Ibrahimovic, who is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires this summer, is ruling nothing out. And he’s not short of options, including Premier League clubs.

Ahead of Sweden’s friendly against the Czech Republic, Ibrahimovic reportedly confirmed there has been interest from clubs in England’s top-flight.

Ibrahimovic also said that he and his representatives aren’t currently engaged in discussions with another club over a move, and he seems pretty relaxed about his future.

Expect the ‘Zlatan to Manchester United’ rumours to step up a notch over the coming weeks though.
