Manchester united insiders are becoming increasingly confident that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will follow Jose Mourinho to Old Trafford.
The striker is looking for a club who can afford his £220,000-a-week wage demands after leaving Paris Saint-Germain with four Ligue 1 titles in as many seasons.
Mourinho knows the signing would go down well with United fans, and sources claim it is close to being a done deal after the Portuguese sounded out the 34-year-old.

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has been chosen as the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.
The England forward got 36% of the vote from 290 journalists, ahead of team-mates Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante.
Vardy, 29, has scored 22 Premier League goals this season, including netting in a league record 11 games in a row.
The Foxes need two more points to guarantee their first top-flight title and will win it today if Tottenham fails to beat Chelsea.
Leicester forward Mahrez won the the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award last month.
The last time two different players from the same club won both awards was 2004-05 when Chelsea's John Terry (PFA) and Frank Lampard (FWA) were the winners.
Vardy will return from a two-game ban against Everton on Saturday 7 May, having been sent off for diving against West Ham and accepting a charge of improper conduct for verbally abusing referee Jon Moss.
Team-mate Danny Drinkwater is suspended for the Everton game following his sending off in Leicester's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
However, the Football Association will not be taking any further action against Drinkwater. It had been suggested in some reports that he appeared to swear at referee Michael Oliver before leaving the field in the 87th minute and could face further sanction.

Arsenal 1-0 Norwich

Arsenal 1-0 Norwich
We've got a real game on now. Mesut Ozil provides a magic pass to find Alexis Sanchez, but, with the overlapping Hector Bellerin a better option, the Chilean goes for goal and can only send the ball into John Ruddy's hands. A wasted chance.
