The Swede veteran is closing in on a return to a former club.
However, it is not United.
Manchester United target Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly set for a return to AC Milan as he closes in on a departure from LA Galaxy.
The legendary Swedish striker is pondering his next move after LA Galaxy’s season ended in defeat in the MLS Cup play-offs to rivals LAFC, as his contract expires in December.
With the 38-year-old widely expected to return to Europe, where he last played for Manchester United, Serie A clubs Napoli and Bologna have made no secrets of their interest in signing him.
However it is Marca that reports Ibrahimovic is likely to move back to Italy and play for AC Milan despite recent links to Red Devils comeback. The English side have been struggling for goals this season with Marcus Rashford carrying a lot of the burden and Paul Ince recently told United to bring back the Swede.
The report adds that AC Milan are now leading the race to sign Ibrahimovic as he closes in on his next destination. He initially joined the Italian club on loan from Barcelona in 2010 before making the switch permanent a year later.
In total, the Swede scored 56 goals in 85 games for the Rossoneri and won the Serie A title in the 2010-11 season as well as the 2011 Supercoppa Italiana.
