Man Utd are 9/2 to win the English top-flight title with Coral after Mourinho’s maiden marquee signing, following on from his first surprise purchase of Ivory Coast centre back Eric Bailly earlier in June.

Exciting times at Old Trafford

After enduring their fair share of disappointment since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, including David Moyes’ hapless reign, Man Utd fans now have plenty to be excited about on the back of an FA Cup winning campaign.

Louis van Gaal was the man that helped end a 12-year wait for that honour but was swiftly replaced by former Barcelona colleague Mourinho after the club’s Wembley heroics over Crystal Palace.

The Portuguese tactician’s pairing with Ibrahimovic a mouth-watering prospect for next season, as it appears the ‘Special One’ could follow England’s example by playing Wayne Rooney in a deeper role to accommodate the big Swede.

While, Man Utd academy-reared striking starlet Marcus Rashford will have plenty to learn from prolific Ibrahimovic, but may see his game time up top cut by his arrival, with the option floated around by pundits and media to play the youngster wide right instead, with France forward Anthony Martial kept on the left flank.
