Manchester United are closing in on an £86m deal for Paul Pogba – and are considering a £25m bid for Monaco full-back Fabinho.

“I’ve always admired him, but he should know that I won’t be the king of Manchester”.

The 23-year-old has been a target for United for some time now, but the English Premier League giants had to wait until Euro 2016 concluded before they could make a concrete move to bring the star back to Manchester.

Cantona said: “I have a personal message for Zlatan: You chose to go red”. It is the best choice you ever made. When you score that first goal right in front of Stretford End. When your heart beats so strong that it bursts out of your chest.

Real Madrid are the only other club the player could join and the Spanish club’s manager Zinedine Zidane said on Monday: “I am happy with the squad I have got and it’s hard to improve on it. Do I like Pogba?”

“We have had a couple over the last three or four years, which is not the Manchester United style, who are used to a manager like Alex Ferguson being in there for so many years”. You can be the prince, if you want. And the number 7 is yours if you are interested. That is my welcome gift to you…The King is gone!

Tuanzebe came on for the last 10 minutes of United’s 2-0 friendly win over Wigan and was named in the club’s squad for their pre-season tour of China shortly after.

Ibrahimovic’s Sweden were knocked out even earlier but Jose Mourinho has chose to give the 35-year-old an extended break, although fellow summer signings Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan do head to the Far East.
