Ibrahimovic hints at 'special' signing for Man Utd as Mourinho prepares to reveal 'secret' image

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is predicting "something special" for Manchester United, with the club's former forward suggesting Jose Mourinho could land a big transfer deal.

Ibrahimovic left United to link up with MLS side LA Galaxy in March but joined his old colleagues at a training session on Tuesday.

And the former Sweden striker hinted Mourinho is working on major transfer targets, with players including Alex Sandro, Willian, Harry Maguire and Miralem Pjanic linked to United.

"Hi everybody. Guess who is back watching United train?" Ibrahimovic said in a video message on Instagram. 

"I see a lot of quality, but not quality like me but that's okay! It is great to see the guys, to see them happy and to see them training good.

"Be ready for this season because something special will happen and I think the boss has something going on.

"We will keep that a secret! Enjoy the season, I wish you all the best and happiness."

Mourinho has already bolstered his ranks this summer, with deals being done for Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant.
