Not sure how much an impact he'd have in this league at this age but purely from a selfish pov I'd love him here for a season. He's box office and It'd be awesome to see him strutting around in our shirt

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

His goalscoring (albeit in Ligue Un) is still insane. He has scored goals at every club he has been at. He is coming on in age but I would still love to see Zlatan at the club. Imagine (an inform) Wayne Rooney playing off Zlatan with Martial reeking havoc from the left....
If Mourinho is our manager it'll be interesting to see if he fancies picking up Zlatan. They have a good relationship IIRC.
Slow? Unless he's lost a lot of pace in the last 18 months (I've barely seen him in that time, so I guess it's possible), he's certainly not slow. He may not be an absolute speedster, but he's a hell of a lot faster than Rooney. Combine that with his size and power, and we'd finally have a striker who can terrorize defenders again. Then throw in his freakish skills...it would be interesting to say the least.
Goal and assist tonight. Front three of Martial - Zlatan - Mahrez 
Couldn't he sign a contract with any team he wants by now? Wonder what he's going to do.
He could - perhaps he is waiting to see if psg make an offer at the end of the season?
Though I still have a gut feel he will go to bayern with anchelotti to try and finally get a cl medal (presuming psg don't win it this year)
Should be all over him. Finally a CF that can hold onto a ball
But what about Reenoy?
If Mourinho came I could imagine Zlatan being keen
Now lets not be too inhumane. Its time to set him free.
Let's sign him, we'll also get full back depth from Maxwell.

Guys, why would Zlatan come to MUFC? Be realistic.
In PSG, he is at one of the best clubs (on the pitch) right now, playing cavallier/champagne football (check out of PSG's team goals). He is also the top goal scorer in the French league.
It would make no logical sense for him to change clubs, unless he is forced out...which I can't see happening, as he is so damn good.
I can't think of 1 reason why he would leave PSG.
Mourinho will need to buy players from the 2nd tier (which excludes Neymar, Muller, Ibra, etc) and try and win the title with those. He has done this many times before, so this won't be a problem.
Once he gets MUFC back on the map, he can target top tier players.

1. To work with Mourinho again.
2. To prove himself in England. Well maybe "prove" is not the appropriate word. Zlatan does not need to prove himself. Others need to prove themselves to Zlatan. I sense he his not the sort of player who would take an easy way out (e.g. in China or US).
3. Whatever is our shitness at the moment on the pitch the lure of Manchester United is still extremely huge.
4. We can pay a decent money to him. By decent I mean whatever he is having at PSG plus more.
5. He would like to score against Guardiola that is fore sure.
6. The list could go on and on...
It's not like that. I think you've got a distorted picture of how big Man United is in the world. We've got financial muscles to buy Messi if we like. If Mourinho would be here I think the odds of Ibra to join would be even better.
Playing at Old Trafford is one of the biggest things you can do as a footballer. I can promise you players like Neymar, Muller and Ibra would have shaky legs stepping in on the pitch. Just look at some of these quotes by Cristiano Ronaldo (one of the best players alive).
"People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything."
"I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United."
Not the best quote to prove your point.Mourinho and Jose would be some free transfers
One for the price of two?
I thought that Zlaten said he is leaving PSG at the end of the season?
He won't come here if we don't have CL.He's not going to waste one of his last seasons playing in the Europa league.
Didn't he get one at Barca?
Don't think so he was a barca player 2009-2011...
Inter won 2009-2010
Barca won 2010-2011
But he was loaned to Milan that season so not in the barca cl squad
So no cl medal for zlatan (yet)
Zlatan would definitely want to come here if we get Mou. Man United is massive in Sweden. It's the club Scandinavians dream of playing for, like South Americans dream of playing for Barca/Real Madrid.
Considering he's still one of the top 2-3 number 9's in the world, maybe only behind Suarez, he'd be a fantastic Van Persie-esque signing for us.

This. Of course it is a massively attractive proposition. Especially as they walk that joke of a league every season. New challenge.
With all the many, many positions we need to fill with too quality players, signing a guy with his reputation on a free (albeit with mega wages) would be a very wise move.
If LvG had to convince the board to sign 30 year old Schweinsteiger because of his age, it's going to be hard to convince them to sign 35 year old Ibra.
It would be worth signing him just to put a bit of fun back into the club.
Not happening without CL football. The champions league is the only trophy Zlatan has played for that he hasn't won.
then let's hope PSG wins CL this season
If we could get him on a short term, two year type of deal without ridiculous wages i would love it. Would be unlikely though, at that age footballers tend to go for security.
The Chinese will be all over this
You guys do realise he's 34, don't you?
When you consider the number of people who are umming & ahhing over a 30 year old Ronaldo, this guy is 4 years older.

Did you watch him last night? The guy's a beast.
Free though, short-term option whilst the likes of Martial and Wilson grow and they can provide cover for him when he needs resting.
They should provide cover to those lazy dicks in our club like Depay that will get a kung fu kick in the head if we're losing to Sunderland. Dont want Zlatan missing the season for GBH.
He's on a free. Big difference.
Ronaldo would cost a hefty fee. I'd take Ronaldo on a free obviously.
Hate him or love him but he'd defo bring some balls to the team, finally.
Can't see him coming to us though.

van Gaal and Ibrahimovic would surely not be a happy reunion
Van Gaal most likely won't be here to worry about that.
