According to Sky Sports News HQ, Ibrahimovic is scheduled to have a medical with Premier League the giants next week, as Mourinho continues to build his own squad.
The Sweden forward, who retired from international football after his country’s group stage exit at Euro 2016 this month, has already agreed personal terms with Man United and has signed a one year contract.
Reports suggested that Ibrahimovic, who agreed to personal terms and a one-year deal prior to Euro 2016 after successful negotiations between his agent Mino Raiola and United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, wanted an agreement before the tournament started.
If deals for Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic are struck, they would become Mourinho’s third signing for the summer, following the capture of Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal.
Manchester United are also understood to be very interested in bringing back France midfielder Paul Pogba to Old Trafford.
