Even a Sunday evening can’t keep the punters in the Transfer Tavern down. For today, they witnessed history.
According to notable journalist Tancredi Palmeri, Zlatan Ibrahimovic HAS signed for Manchester United.
The superstar Swede has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and he will reportedly follow manager Jose Mourinho into the Theatre of Dreams as they look to put the rocky past three years behind them.
Ibrahimovic has accepted the 1 year contract. No automatic options will trigger the 2nd. But Manchester United has option for 2nd year

Despite his advancing years, the 34-year old remains one of the elite players in the European game and one of the most prolific forwards around.
His arrival in Manchester will go some way into ending their chase for a bonafide world star, and the former Barcelona and Juventus forward will reportedly bank a stunning €17m on a one-year deal.
Ibrahimovic wages should be approximately 17m€

Palmeri claims that while there are no automatic triggers to include a second year for the Swedish record goalscorer, the club possess the option to extend it.
Will Zlatan and Jose be enough to win Man United their first league title without Sir Alex Ferguson?
