Pogba will make Man United more interesting: Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic, 34, met Antonio Valencia’s cross with a typically athletic volley as United beat Galatasaray 5-2.
Manchester United have identified Inter centre-back Joao Miranda as a potential target this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
He scored his first United goal with an acrobatic effort not even four minutes into his debut and he was delighted to get his first goal on Swedish soil. He says José Mourinho’s plans should give him the freedom he enjoys and have led to a switch in his mentality.
He would also be the last of the four “priority” signings Mourinho outlined in his first press conference as United boss, and his arrival as the last piece of the puzzle would allow United to “breathe” and “be stable”, per Sky Sports’ James Kilpatrick.
Claims that the former Germany global, who announced his worldwide retirement last week, was simply enjoying an extended honeymoon with new wife Ana Ivanovic prove untrue as the midfielder reported back for pre-season last Thursday, only to be told by Mourinho that he was not needed in the first team.
It’s becoming a no brainer now.
“Of course Marcus (Rashford) and Ibra showed glimpses of the things they can bring”. His meteoric rise seems to have handed Mourinho a fresh selection headache, but one that manager would love to have.
“I think the fans are waiting for me to come back and they are waiting to enjoy not only me, but the team as well”.
But a much-changed United side turned the match around through Wayne Rooney (two), Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata.
Ibrahimovic, 34, who retired from global football following a disappointing Euro 2016 campaign in France, said he had been impressed with the first few days of training under United manager Jose Mourinho, for whom he played at Inter Milan.
The latest reports suggest the deal could rise to $148 million once agent, salary and administrative fees have been settled – making Pogba the most expensive player in the history of the game. They shipped another set piece goal in the game against Galatasaray when Gumus found himself completely unmarked inside the six yard box.
