With the rumours that Zlatan will be moving from Paris to England, the big clubs have been circling around him wondering if he would like to join them.
One club certainly interested is Manchester United. The club have been looking for a new forward to join them and Zlatan joins a host of other names to be rumoured to head up to Manchester.
The locals at the Tavern have been debating whether the 34-year-old Swede should be the right man for the job.
With other names potentially available, the debate rolls on.
Regardless of whether Zlatan joins, there are numerous other players that could join the club after Ibra.
The club is preparing for an exciting summer of signings, hoping to be a force again in the Premier League.
These players are rumoured to join the Red Devils and no matter who joins, it will surely be an exciting transfer window for the club!
Our landlord has compiled a list of FIVE players who could potentially follow Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Man United in the summer…..

Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
He has recently come out to say he would like to move clubs in the summer. and these comments have put major clubs on high alert.
Clubs like PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester United among others have been interested in signing the big Belgian, but United seemed to have the edge if they hire Jose Mourinho.
Romelu Lukaku has stated he would welcome a chance to be rejoined by the Portuguese manager.
If that isn’t motivation for United to hire Jose, I’m not sure what will do it then.
Lukaku has bagged 25 goals for Everton this season and looks to be a force to be reckoned with.
He could be available for £50 million and if he produces like this every season, it could be worth every penny.
The fans at the Tavern are hoping he will be coming to Old Trafford.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)
This forward has been in high demand for a while now and will surely get a big money move elsewhere.
Clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United are set to battle it out for the Gabonese forward.
He has scored 32 goals in all competitions for the German club and his performances after will surely garner more attention.
If no club haven’t been noticing what he has been doing, they have no right to buy him.
Manchester United need a proven goal scorer for the club.
Anthony Martial could be that, but he is still very young in age and has not played on the big stage for long. Aubameyang has and will continue to perform no matter where he goes.
If he does switch the black and yellow strip for the red, white, and black strip, the locals will be pleased at the Tavern.
Matt Ritchie (Bournemouth)
This might be a little puzzling for the locals at the Tavern, but he could be a good squad player for the club in more ways than one.
Along with United, Tottenham and Chelsea are also tracking the attacking midfielder who is only 26 years old.
His statistics won’t blow away the competition, but he has been a dynamic player for Eddie Howe’s side.
With a massive overhaul expected at Old Trafford, he could help with the home grown quota required for each Premier League club.
This is a massive attraction to big clubs, similar to the likes of Fabian Delph at Manchester City.
However, when United need to rotate the squad, Ritchie will be able to fill in nicely for any attacking player as he has the creative mindset to be successful.
Rafa Silva (Braga)
With what it seems like no emphasis on defensive help, United are again rumoured with another attacker.
This time, United are looking to Portugal for midfielder Rafa Silva.
This game-changing player may be a little unknown to fans, but the knowledgeable punters at the Tavern know what Silva is capable of doing.
With a rumoured price of £16 million, fans will be hoping this rumour becomes reality.
Memphis has been extremely disappointing for the club and while others have offered not much more to the cause, Silva will be able to step in immediately and help out.
And if Jose Mourinho is indeed hired as new manager, luring his fellow compatriot could be an easy transition. However, Porto are in the race as well for this midfielder, so it will be interesting to see how this one ends up.
Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund)
Tell us if you’ve heard this one before.
Once again, Hummels to United is in the news again.
This time, it’s Hummels saying he is unsure of what the future holds.
If he is keen to move elsewhere, United will be the first suitors waiting for him. After months of waiting for him to come to Manchester, this summer might be the one for United.
If he does decide to move from Dortmund, there will be more than just United wanting his signature.
He is a towering presence that can be the instant leader desperately lacking at Old Trafford.
A pairing of Hummels and Chris Smalling is something the United faithful will be excited about. Let’s just see if Hummels does want to leave Dortmund.
