Manchester United Transfer News: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marouane Fellaini Rumours

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed that he will reveal his next club “soon” with Manchester United strongly linked with a move for the Swedish striker.

The veteran will be a free agent this summer when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs out, and according to Andy Burton of Sky Sports News HQ, the Red Devils will agree to a deal to secure the services of the 34-year-old. But when asked about the possible move, the forward was giving little away.

“For me, with Manchester [United], there is nothing to say. I feel happy for the moment,” he said, per Jack de Menezes of the Independent. “What the future will be, you will know soon. But I enjoy football. Wherever I go, I will be the same person and I will enjoy.”

With Burton having reported that a deal could be done before the UEFA European Championship, a lot of United fans are beginning to grow impatient in waiting for this transfer to be done.

After all, Ibrahimovic is one of the finest goalscorers in the game, not to mention one of the biggest characters.

Former United captain Roy Keane has tipped the forward to emulate another brash forward, should he make the switch to Old Trafford, per Bleacher Report UK:

Although he’s in the twilight of his career, Ibrahimovic has shown his evergreen tendencies this term. Here is a look at some of his best moments for PSG in 2015-16:

As long as Sweden continue in the European Championship, it’s unlikely that there will be any clarity when it comes to the future of the former AC Milan and Barcelona striker. If he can keep showcasing the outstanding levels we saw in Ligue 1 last term, there’s no denying that Ibrahimovic will be worth the wait for United supporters.

Marouane Fellaini's Future in Doubt

Marouane Fellaini’s future with Manchester United is reportedly hanging in the balance.

According to James Robson of the Manchester Evening News, the Belgium international is currently in an “uncertain” situation, as it's not yet clear whether or not he fits into manager Jose Mourinho’s plans. But the player himself, currently on duty with his national team, has revealed that his new boss has been in touch, and he’s keen to stay:

"

Mourinho contacted me by text to say welcome to United and to wish me a good Euro. As far as my future is concerned, I’m under contract with Manchester United.

In addition, a great manager, [Mourinho], is arriving.

He likes to win titles and I would be honoured and proud to work with him.

Now it’s up to me to show he can trust me.

Things will have to change if Fellaini is to do that. The former Everton man has a reputation for letting his elbows go a little too easily, picking up a ban in the final weeks of the Premier League season due to a tangle with Robert Huth.

But Mourinho’s predecessor, Louis van Gaal, seemed to be a fan of the 28-year-old, who brings a presence to the middle of the park.

Liam Twomey of ESPN FC actually thinks that Fellaini could have a future at the club, especially at the expense of other more popular players:

Still, should Mourinho opt to restructure the United midfield, then the awkward Belgian could be pushed down the pecking order. According to Robson, with Juventus’ Paul Pogba targeted in a deal that could top £70 million, Fellaini could find himself well short of the minutes he needs should he stay at Old Trafford.

There would be merits to keeping the midfielder, as he’s versatile, physical and a useful focal point when chasing a goal.

However, if United do want to reestablish themselves as one of England’s premier sides again, they need an upgrade on Fellaini.
