Ibrahimoic is a free agent having spent the last four years in France with PSG and this season won a domestic treble.

It was also revealed that United were aware of the possibility of signing Leicester forward Jamie Vardy, but decided not to make an offer because they do not want to block the path of Marcus Rashford by bringing in two new forwards.
