United confident of securing marquee striker

 

Manchester United remain confident they can secure the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, reports the Daily Mail.

 

The Sweden international is currently a free agent after a four-year stint for PSG, though only a handful of clubs can afford his £220,000-a-week wage demands.

 

The appointment of Jose Mourinho as United boss weighs heavily in the club's pursuit of the 34-year-old, with the two enjoying a fine working relationship from their time together at Inter.

 

United feel it is a mere formality that a deal is close to completion, though they face competition for his signature, with a number of teams in Italy, USA and China keen on Ibrahimovic.

Premier League rivals Tottenham have also been linked with a move for Ibrahimovic, though United remain in the driving seat in the race to land the experienced striker, who netted 38 league goals for PSG this season.
