If this racy offer doesn’t keep Zlatan at Manchester United then nothing will

Paul Moore

Somehow, we don’t see him taking it up.

Given that Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s first season at Manchester United has seen the Swede scoring 28 times in all competitions, it’s obvious that the hierarchy at Old Trafford will be pulling out all the stops to keep the former PSG, Barcelona and Inter Milan striker at the club.

Well, if Ed Woodward’s negotiation skills can’t keep him at the club, United’s supporters are here to intervene.

While Zlatan’s wages will definitely be a factor in his decision, we’re certain that the potential of Champions League football would be an extra incentive for the Swede to stay with Mourinho’s men.

After seeing this banner that was unveiled at the Europa League final, it’s clear that the United supporters are willing to pull out all the stops in their efforts to keep the Stretford End hero at the club.

Truth be told, we can’t help but think about a famous encounter that Ibrahimovic had with a journalist when asked about his wife’s birthday.

Reporter: “What did you get your wife for her birthday?”

Ibrahimovic: “Nothing. She already has Zlatan.”

Well, we’re certain that Ibrahimovic will continue to enjoy a happy and healthy marriage with his wife Helena, but if he ever wants to change things up and further endear himself to the United faithful, he might want to take up this offer.

We’re saying nothing.
