Second time that Martial has spoken positively about this
Sign him up already
Don't do that to me!
Sign him up already
Looks good in red
My inner muppet just went haywire. I'm not sure on the basis of age but hell it could be great craic.
Sign him up already
All he's missing in that pic is a Hattori Honzo sword.

The rumour was started by some parody website.
27m for a free transfer, lucky we didn't get Berta
Id argue that the main thing that escalates and facilitates a players decline are injuries rather than age. And zlatans been fit as a fiddle for the majority of his career.
Actually read the article posted in a tweet before posting it.
Even if it was a parody website, that's actually a good fit for Ibra. I doubt Atletico can afford his wages though.
We are a good fit for Zlatan.
Would think Ibra wants to play in the Premier League, even just for a year and see how he does. I personally think he'd be incredible for us. The man is also a physical phenomenon, probably has 2-3 years left.
Yep. Very good point.
Sky Sports News have pulled the trigger on this one as their headline at 10pm.
Sky Sports has gone to shit lately but hopefully this is true.
I like what they are saying about our views with Rashord.
Tbh even if they don't know it's worth the risk. It's 99% gonna happen
Sky Sports claim Zlatan set to join United on 1 year deal
Breaking SSNHQ
about to be signed
ZLATAN TO JOIN MAN UTD
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to sign for Manchester United on a one-year contract, according to Sky sources.
He will be Jose Mourinho's first signing since joining the club as manager - Sky Sports News HQ reporter Andy Burton says the deal is close to competition and could even be finalised before Euro 2016.
Burton also reports that United were made aware of the possibility of signing Leicester forward Jamie Vardy, but decided not to make an offer because they do not want to block the path of Marcus Rashford by bringing in two new forwards.
By steering clear of Vardy, United believe they can sign Ibrahimovic and still offer Rashford a realistic chance at regular first-team football.

Brilliant signing
Whoop whoop
Ohh man hold me.
Oh lawd
Now, now. Let's see who else reports about it before jumping the gun.
This is brilliant news. Hopefully we also keep Wilson or Fletcher around as 3rd striker.
Smart business. Low risk. Hope he continues his goalscoring for and should be a good influence on the youngsters.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Let's hope it's true a front three of Martial Zlatan & Rashford looks full of movement pace and goals.
It also has Eric esque swagger and arrogance something we have been missing for too long.

I Zlatan, You Zlatan, We All Zlatan!
He is a great addition, particularly on a one year deal. Likely huge wages though, but United has the money
So it's practically done then?
A journalist at the Irish Independent did tweet earlier that there was going to be a bigger transfer story later than the Vardy story. I presumed it was going to be some shite that some other idiot journalist had joined the paper but it suggests that this isn't just Sky being crap as they often are.
This pleases me. I'm also happy that we're not interested in Vardy.
Hopefully this story is wanted/high profile enough that, if it doesn't happen, whatever remained of Sky Sports News' credibility is dead and buried.
I hope we also put in a few extra quid in agent compensation for Raiola while keeping Pogba in mind.
