Earlier in the day, rumours has swirled that United's Megastore had jumped the gun and were printing Ibrahimovic's name - along with a number nine - on the back of shirts. JOE have since confirmed that this wasn't the case, and it is still unknown what his squad number will be at Old Trafford. Ibrahimovic arrives at Old Trafford following a four year spell in France with Paris Saint-Germain. It was widely reported that Jose Mourinho was keen to have him at United having worked with him during his stint at Inter Milan.
