Manchester United want Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return for a second spell at Old Trafford - report

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Manchester United are weighing up an offer to bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the club, according to reports.

Ibrahimovic moved to Old Trafford from PSG in summer 2016 and went on to score 28 goals in all competitions the following campaign.

And according to Tutto Mercato Web, United are exploring the possibility of bringing the 38-year-old back to Manchester.

They have been short of attacking options at times this term and are reportedly seeking reinforcements in the January transfer window. 

Juventus frontman Mario Mandzukic is thought to be on the club's shortlist, and Ibrahimovic has emerged as another potential target.
