Manchester United's new manager Jose Mourinho is all set to complete his first signing of the summer on Tuesday and that too a huge one -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Reports suggest that the Swedish international star has been allowed to leave Sweden training to complete his move to Old Trafford.
Few days ago, when a reporter had asked Ibrahimovic about joining United, he replied with a smile saying, "Let's see what happens."
And now, just after Sweden's friendly match against Wales on Sunday, Ibrahimovic said a big announcement is imminent.
"There will be a big announcement on the 7th. It will be this summer's big bomb," Ibrahimovic was quoted as saying by the Manchester Evening News.
United will have to shell out between £250,000 and £300,000-a-week in wages, if Ibrahimovic agrees to join the club. However, the Red Devils will not have to pay any transfer fee as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired at the end of the season, making him a free agent.
Sweden will be flying to France for the Euro 2016 later this week. But, Sweden coach Erik Hamren said that Ibrahimovic will have plenty of time to complete any move.
"We have days off. We plan our activities and the players can act based on that. I'm not going to speculate about such things," Hamren said.
If Ibrahimovic arrives at the Old Trafford, Mourinho will get a major boost ahead of next season.
Tweets have already started flowing in after Ibrahimovic's comment on his future.
