If we can get him on a rolling one year contract I'd have no objections, no matter how much we pay him. Can imagine him potentially having an impact akin to RVP's for a season or two. Big if though, I'd imagine he'd want the security of a two-three year deal.

I will be more than happy to have him just for one season. We must do everything to make sure we finish top 3 next season and have a guaranted place in the Champions League again. But I think he can get us the league title already next year.
Terrible station but they're talking about this on Talksport now and presenters seem generally positive about this, on the whole.
De Telegraaf say he's signed

This could be the first and decisive sign of Mourinho's unwillingness to feck around. No more bullshit decisions regarding transfers, if it's right, we get it done.
I, for one, welcome our new god king legend.

Getting Zlatan would be the best signing for any club this summer. Hope this is true.
Please be true, that would be exceptional. Rashford can take over upfront after a couple of years.

Aye
Can this week get any better? Please let this happen.
Good news, cant wait. Double announcement tomorrow pleaseDare to Zlatan
Woodward has redeemed himself this week.

Im really excited for the press conference and unveiling. Mourinho and Zlatan is a combo to bring fear to anyone
Would love to see him here, but I'm not liking that assistant manager talk at all. Hope that's BS.
Having Zlatan to join the club and continue as a coach could be interesting. I imagine Zlatan having a lot of contacts out there with players willing to join if he's here.
His goalscoring record in France has been repeated and heralded throughout this thread with no mention of the opposition. Soon as I bring up a less than favourable stat the quality of opposition suddenly becomes a factor. Can't have it both ways.
It a very average almost poor record, strikers with much lower reputations have done better. He's not always up against Barcelona or A Madrid either. In addition the very best tend to replicate their league form in ECL knockout. The differing standard doesn't seem to affect them that much. Does it not bother you at all?
You say it's harder to score against Bayern but actually we attack much better against teams who come out and play. It's against teams that sit deep like Bournemouth that we've had problems.
Zlatan as assistant 
Funny if he's announced before Jose! Or before we announce Van Gaal's gone at this rate.

it says assistant coach, not manager specifically. not sure what that means though.
I want Zlatan as the manager.
Does anyone know if De Telegraf are reliable?
I think his bombastic nature make people more willing to ignore his flaws. One of the greatest entertainers in the game for a generation but I really question if he's on the level that a lot of people think he is. Looks like we might be about to find out next season!
Born in Italy but lived in Holland since he was a toddler...
Most on here hate him due to the fact he is Pogbas agent... though he has some good clients
Zlatan and Pogba being the best know two but also Matuti, Lukaku, Donnarumma, Mkhitaryan, oh and not forgetting Ballotelli
Must be quote rich with that client bank!
Welcome to Manchester United
Yeah they are pretty reliable.
Cheers mate
Watch his free kicks go to shit playing for a bigger club

They put it down pretty conclusively, no ifs or buts or according to papers/sources/twitter in france, simply says he has joined us and is to wear the United shirt next season.

Absolutely great news, so excited for next season, get in Andre Gomes, a new CB and a new winger/James and we're ready to go! These quality players are exactly the players Mourinho can rely on and build a machine with.
Not sure about Sports news, but it's among the better papers in the Netherlands, they have a good reputation. The wording of the article seems to leave no doubt about it as well. I think this is happening.
Zlatan would be an excellent signing. Get a couple of skillful pacey attackers to compliment him and we've got an attack that's a real force again.
Ronaldo's goals to games ratio in the CL is about the same as in La Liga. Only Zlatan's is dramatically different. This season, the best in Zlatan's entire career so far, Ronaldo has scored 16 CL goals vs. 4 CL golas for Zlatan. Why this difference?
You're making valuable points but you are wasting your time in this thread. It's full with people who think we are signing a player who will destroy PL defences for fun. However, if Mourinho wants Zlatan, then we have to sign him and see what happens. I'm not optimsitic about Zlatan's influence here but Mourinho must know much better than us after all.
A season or two of Ibra would certainly be entertaining! I'm sure Rashford would love to train and play with him. Could learn a huge amount from one of the best strikers of the last 10 years.
I would be excited with Zlatan on his own. But him and Rooney in the same attack scares me shitless.
Zlatan will be useless even if he's free. Rashford has nothing to learn from Ibra as he's more a Brazilian Ronaldo type of player. And he's a really bad influence in the locker room.
Absolutely wouldn't mind Zlatan as a free agent on a 1 year contract
How was Zlatan when you played with him? As you seem in the know.
Me too. Add to them Bastian and we'll end up with three of the most expensive players in the world with average age 33+. Rebuilding.
