Besiktas reportedly interested in Manchester United star

Conflicting reports have emerged with regards to Manchester United’s new signing Zlatan Ibrahimović on whether he will feature with Jose Mourinho’s squad in the upcoming 2016 International Champions Cup (ICC).

Jose Mourinho is about to embark on his first season since replacing Louis van Gaal as manager, the Dutchman – who led United to FA Cup glory – paying the price for a perceived negative style of play and failure to finish in the Champions League places.

But when asked by ESPN Deportes about United’s reported interest, Pogba said: “It was my first family“. “I take them but I’m not going to play them”, Mourinho told MUTV earlier this month.

After another title-less year for the once-dominant Manchester United, Mourinho was brought on to manage the Red Devils with a three-year deal. I would say that. “I was so happy to go for him and obviously he’s happy to work with me”. Frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities, Pogba refused a new deal from Sir Alex Ferguson and joined Juventus. However, in this given moment, a freind of mines son was very excited to see Ibrahimovic and I could not help myself. I heavily doubt they met to talk about #ronaldo, or maybe they did! “They are a great club”.

The new United manager is set to give the player extra-time off and therefore his debut will be pushed back.

The France worldwide described Juve as “my team, my family, where I am playing, I am very comfortable” and added Real were a “great club” before he was asked which of the three replicas he would prefer to wear.

The fallen Premier League giants are determined to push the move through and expect to complete negotiations with both Juventus and the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, this weekend.
