Zlatan Ibrahimovic *will* be a Manchester United player... or at least, that's what he tells us.

At the time of writing, there's still no official word from Mr Ibrahimovic's future employers, almost certainly making him the first player in the history of Manchester United to announce his own transfer before the club. It's not quite reached Peter Odemwingie to QPR levels yet - he's only announced it on his Instagram, not driven himself to a training ground for a medical - but football fans the world over are impressed that Zlatan has taken matters into his own hands. https://twitter.com/hesham786/status/748542609497399296 https://twitter.com/adikpramudik/status/748549002715533312 https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/748533745137881088 https://twitter.com/CheGiaevara/status/748547529395011584 https://twitter.com/ManUtdFF/status/748535258325389312 https://twitter.com/thcoast/status/748535055455297536 If any player was going to announce his next club before the club does, it was always going to be Zlatan, wasn't it? Meanwhile, United's official Twitter page continues to retweet fan tweets about Antonio Valencia... https://twitter.com/Magic_Memphis/status/748527995225280512 Does the club even know they're signing Zlatan? Has this all been orchestrated by the man himself? Only time will tell. SNAPCHAT
