Jose Mourinho is set to add three more faces to the Manchester United squad following the capture of Eric Bially from Villarreal. According to reports from England, former PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to join the club on a one year deal.
It was reported that Mourinho knew he would be Man Utd or PSG manager before the start of next season and had already identified key targets for the clubs if appointed. Mourinho who was appointed United boss at the end of May is close to signing Ibbrahimovic, Portugal and Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes and Serbia midfielder Nemanja Matic, although Chelsea would be extremely reluctant to see the more defensively-minded man follow Mourinho north.

Matic is believed to have held talks with new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and he does not feel convinced to remain at Chelsea hence he seeks a move to reunite with Mourinho.
Gomes is said to be considering United’s offer while Zlatan has already agreed to join his former coach at Inter Milan in Manchester. Recall that Mourinho has already signed Eric Bailly, 22, from Villareal on a four-year deal with United holding an option for another two years. The move caps a meteoric rise for the Ivory Coast defender, who cost Villareal £4.4m when he moved to the Yellow Submarine from Espanyol a year-and-a-half ago.
