Zlatan Ibrahimovic is following Paul Pogba’s proposed move to his new club Manchester United with keen interest and hopes a deal can be done soon.

The arrival of Ibrahimovic could potentially limit Rashford’s playing time at United but he is focused on preparations for the campaign ahead.
Galatasaray dominated the rest of the first half, cutting Man United open a number of times, and managed to find the net twice through Sinan Gumus and Bruma before the break.
But new United boss Jose Mourinho has strengthened his hand with the signing of Ibrahimovic, who scored with a bicycle kick four minutes into his first appearance against Galatasaray on Saturday, leaving Rashford to scrap for game time.
“Let’s see if Pogba will also [come], then it will be even more interesting”.
The report claims Schweinsteiger and 8 other players have been made available for transfer by Mourinho.
“We can definitely all learn from him (Ibrahimovic) while he is here, so we all need to take that chance”, Rashford said.
“The squad is very competitive and very important for the season”.
Manchester United were tiresome under Louis van Gaal but if there is one thing we’re not going to be under Jose Mourinho, it’s boring.
“Zlatan is a fantastic player and, immediately in training, we could feel what I call “functional empathy” – people looking to him, him looking to connect with other players”.
He added that players with a squad mentality would be valued, explaining: “To be in the squad, you have to understand that the squad is more important than the individual, the club is more important than all of us”. We lost a week in China and some of the boys who played today, they trained for two days.

“There is not a long time to work, not a long time to change, to implement a couple of new ideas, of new principles of play”.
