United consider Ibrahimovic
Friday 3 July, 2009

Having watched Karim Benzema slip through their grasp, Manchester United are now turning their attention to Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to the Italian Press.

The English champions cashed £80m from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo and after signing Antonio Valencia they are now looking to reinforce their attack.

United need to add goals to their side, as Ronaldo's exit is about to be followed by that of Carlos Tevez who looks set to join rivals Manchester City.

Ibrahimovic finished top scorer in Serie A last season and after winning everything in Italy he has spoken of his desire to find a new challenge.

The 27-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona, but the Blaugrana are more interested in signing Valencia striker David Villa.

Ibrahimovic appears to have resigned himself to staying with Inter this summer, but United's apparent interest could unsettle him once more.

The former Ajax youngster has reservations about Inter's chances of winning the Champions League, which he feels is necessary for him to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or.

If United do sign Ibrahimovic, he will have the chance to put to rest doubts regarding his ability, which remain all too prevalent in England.
