Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly a summer target for Manchester United, with the 34-year-old a free agent in the close season when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires.

Ibrahimovic is known to be open to playing in the Premier League and United are considering moving for him in the next transfer window, according to the French newspaper L’Equipe.

The Swedish striker is represented by Mino Raiola, who stated that his client had a clear plan of where he wished to play when departing PSG. “We know what we want but we won’t say anything until the summer when the season is over,” Raiola told the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

“We have a clear idea of what we want to do. I know what he’s counting on doing but we don’t want you to know for the moment.”

Whether United do try to sign Ibrahimovic will rest on who is the manager in place for next season. The future of Louis van Gaal is in some doubt.
