Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic after
releasing a short ‘it’s Zlatan time’ video on their official Twitter
account.
The striker moves to Old Trafford on a free transfer and
becomes new manager Jose Mourinho’s second signing of the summer,
following Eric Bailly to the Premier League club.
Ibrahimovic
has signed a one-year deal with the Red Devils with the option of a
second year, following his departure from Paris Saint-German.
The
Swede had announced he was joining the club on Thursday through
Instagram and United have now confirmed the move, again through social
media, with a short video featuring the striker in the club’s kit saying
“It’s Zlatan time”.
Speaking of the move, Ibrahimovic told the
club’s official website: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining
Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier
League. It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose
Mourinho once again.
“He is a fantastic manager and I am ready
for this new and exciting challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career
so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more
special memories in England.”
