Ibrahimovic says he's joining United

Zlatan Ibrahimovic said on Thursday he is heading to Manchester United, ending intense speculation about where the 34-year-old Swedish superstar forward will play next season.

Ibrahimovic, who was a free agent after ending a hugely successful stay at Paris Saint-Germain, becomes the second signing of new United boss Jose Mourinho, following highly rated Cote d'Ivoire centerback Eric Bailly from the Spanish outfit Villarreal.

"Time to let the world know: My next destination is Manchester United," Ibrahimovic wrote on Instagram and Facebook, complete with a picture of the United badge, as comments approving of the move - one of the biggest of the summer transfer window so far - flooded in.
