Swedish striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has confirmed that his next destination is the English Premier League to join Manchester United.
The 34-year-old finally broke the silence about his next move after ending his four-year spell with French champions, Paris-Saint Germain.
“Time to let the world know my next destination is @Manutd,” Ibrahimovic said on Twitter on Thursday.

The much travelled striker will link-up with former boss, Jose Mourinho, who he worked with while at Inter Milan.
United, who have not paid a fee to sign the out-of-contract Ibrahimovic, will be the eighth club of a career which began with his hometown team Malmo in 1999 and has included spells at Ajax, Juventus,, Barcelona and AC Milan.
He notched 392 goals in 677 games and won a trophy in each season of his career since 2001.
Beyond the silverware, however, it is the box-office appeal of the Swede which has appealed to United, whose supporters have bemoaned the lack of star quality in their teams since the departure of Alex Ferguson.
United were widely criticised for playing boring football last season under now departed manager Louis van Gaal.
Boring is not a word which could be used to describe the flamboyant Ibrahimovic, who scored 50 goals in 51 matches for PSG last season.
United are yet to confirm the deal but British media reported that he will undergo a medical at Old Trafford on Friday.
Ibrahimovic announced his retirement from international football last week after Sweden’s early exit from Euro 2016.
He will link up with his new team mates next month and could feature on the club’s tour of Asia, for which they are due to depart on July 19.
