While waiting for official news about the arrival of Jose Mourinho, the media is already "shaping" a new composition for the "United" team. We present the most relevant and latest rumors about possible player arrivals, as reported by manutd.lt.
Possibly the biggest buzz was caused by the potential arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimović. The Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" reports that after the departure of Louis van Gaal, the Swedish striker sees no reason why he couldn't come to Manchester and test himself in the Premier League.
A less known source indicates that a "1 + 1" type contract will be drawn up, under which the striker will earn 250 thousand pounds sterling per week. The club is also said to be waiting for an additional 8 million pounds sterling just for the signing of the contract.
Even BBC had their say in this story. They confirmed that Z. Ibrahimović is a target for Manchester United, but also added that the club has already received lucrative offers from China.
Meanwhile, Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst asserts that David De Gea is focused on his fate within the United ranks following the arrival of J. Mourinho.
The Times reports that midfielder Michael Carrick will extend his contract with the team for another season.
The Independent announces that Karim Benzema will be one of J. Mourinho's main targets this summer.
As for the coaching staff shuffle, it is reported that long-time Mourinho associate Rui Faria will be the main assistant coach, but efforts will also be made to find a place for Ryan Giggs on the bench.
