Ibrahimovic signs 1-year deal with MU before Euro 2016

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is preparing to sign a one-year contract with MU and will officially join coach Mourinho's team before Euro 2016 begins.

A reliable source from Sky Sports said that MU CEO Ed Woodward and Ibrahimovic's representative are negotiating the final details of the one-year contract.

It is expected that the "blockbuster" deal will be completed before Sweden's opening match against the Republic of Ireland (June 13) at Euro 2016. At that time, Ibrahimovic will become the first new player under coach Jose Mourinho.

Ibrahimovic prepares to join MU

Ibra is the only striker Mourinho wants to recruit this summer. Because he believes Marcus Rashford will continue to improve next season, when he trains and plays with the experienced Swedish star.

Mourinho and the Red Devils’ Board of Directors also agreed on the strategy of trusting young talents from the club’s training academy. That’s why he passed up the opportunity to buy Jaime Vardy to promote Rashford’s development.

It is known that MU started contacting Ibrahimovic since last month. Negotiations between the two sides went well and everything became clearer when the Red Devils appointed Mourinho to replace Van Gaal.

Ibrahimovic himself admires his old teacher Mourinho and wants to work under the Portuguese coach again (after a short time at Inter).

Despite turning 35, Ibrahimovic still maintains a high level of performance, scoring 50 goals in 52 matches for PSG last season. Ibra's contract with the Ligue 1 champions has expired, so he will join the Red Devils on a free transfer.

Ibrahimovic's salary at Old Trafford is around 250,000 pounds/week. The contract will include a 1-year extension clause if he plays well in the red shirt.
