Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now commented on rumours linking him with Manchester United, and also spoke about a potential reunion with Jose Mourinho.

According to a source, Chelsea still held copyright to Mourinho’s name at the start of the week even though he left the club in December.

William Gallas believes that Jose Mourinho has what it takes to bring success back to Manchester United.

A deal has been agreed for Jose Mourinho to become Manchester United’s new manager, after three days of talks.

Mourinho returned home at 5.20pm with documents in his hand and a bottle of red wine, having met with United’s executive vice chairman Ed Woodward to complete the deal.

“He is a competitive manager and I know that all of the players from Man United will follow him and I’m sure that next season will be very exciting”.

His first spell in charge of the Blues between 2004 and 2007 resulted in two Premier League titles, an FA Cup trophy, two League Cup titles and the Community Shield.

“I think it’s a great move”.

Henry thinks Mourinho’s pending move to United will be a huge boost for English football and rejected the suggestion that his teams have a boring style.

But when asked whether he was tempted to work again with Mourinho, Ibrahimovic said only that they had worked well together at Inter Milan, where the Swede played from 2006 to 2009. The disappointing thing for United is that since Sir Alex Ferguson left they haven’t really competed for top honours but they certainly will do next season.

“Without any problems I would embrace him”.

“I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans”.
