With the Dutchman Louis van Gaal departing the Red Devils, the 34-year old striker looks to be on course to link up under the leadership of incoming boss Jose Mourinho.
As mentioned by Mirror, Zlatan is said to have agreed a one-year deal with an option for a one-year extension. The anticipated move could be announced within the next 48 hours.
The English side is certainly in the market for a striker, and the ex-Blaugrana player is a free agent this summer, as the need for an experienced footballer up front is crucial for Manchester United's 2016/2017 campaign.
Furthermore, Telegraaf believes that Zlatan wants to fulfill his desire to become a coach at the Old Trafford upon his retirement, and will do so after his period in a Man United shirt.
The Sweden skipper seems to be taking the media by storm, as Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet also dropped a major bomb claiming that Zlatan wants to become the assistant coach behind Jose Mourhino at Manchester.
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, who is the current assistant manager, guided his team to the fifth spot in the English Premier League alongside Van Gaal but seems to have a cloudy future after the impending sacking of the present boss.
