Manchester United have announced the signing of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 34-year-old finished up with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his fourth season, in which he scored 156 goals in 180 appearances.

His final international for Sweden came in the defeat to Belgium at Euro 2016, Ibrahomovic’s 116 international. He scored 62 goals for his country.

“I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League,” Ibrahimovic said on club press release.

"It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England."

New United manager Mourinho said: “Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world and a player who always gives 100 per cent.

“He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles.

“ I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad.”

United also appear close to concluding the transfer of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund.

An agreement for the midfielder is yet to be formally announced but United’s official online shop was carrying images of their new blue away kit, available to order with Mkhitaryan’s name.
