One of football's worst-kept transfer secrets has finally been let out of the bag: Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be joining Manchester United.
The 35-year-old Swedish striker has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford since Jose Mourinho was confirmed as the club's new manager in May.
On Thursday afternoon the player himself confirmed on social media that he will link back up with the Portuguse coach for the first time since the pair were at Inter Milan.
All that's left now is official confirmation from United themselves. Ibrahimovic is set for a medical in Manchester on Friday, where he is expected to be officially unveiled.
Twitter erupted following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's confirmation, so here are some of the best Tweets...
