Ibrahimovic “makes a fortune” if MU wins Champions League
According to The Sun (UK), if MU wins the Champions League this season, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will receive a bonus worth 2 million pounds.
Due to age and frequent injuries, Ibrahimovic has only made a total of 7 appearances in all competitions (playing 187 minutes) this season and scored 1 goal.
At the end of this season, Ibrahimovic's contract with MU will expire. It is likely that the Swedish striker will say goodbye to the Old Trafford team after 2 years of association. Recently, the British press has reported that the 36-year-old star will move to play in the US Major League Soccer (MLS) in the shirt of the Los Angeles Galaxy Club.

| Ibrahimovic will receive a £2 million bonus if MU wins the Champions League. |
When he signed a new contract with United in the summer of 2017, Ibrahimovic had to accept a pay cut from £365,000 a week to £180,000 a week. However, the contract included a clause that the former Swedish international would receive a £2 million bonus if the Red Devils won the Champions League this season.
Currently, MU is participating in the 1/8 round of the 2017-2018 Champions League (drawing 0-0 with Sevilla in the first leg away). Even if they pass the knockout round, coach Jose Mourinho and his team will not easily win the championship because the tournament still has many formidable opponents such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus, Man City.
A source from MU said: "Zlatan has accepted a pay cut to stay at MU but the club always understands his sacrifice. Ibrahimovic's biggest dream right now is to win the Champions League. This is probably the last season for him to do that.
If MU wins the European championship, the players will receive a large bonus, but Zlatan personally will have an additional bonus."
