MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly made contact with Zlatan Ibrahimovic over a stunning return to the club.
The 38-year-old left Old Trafford in 2018 to sign for Major League Soccer team LA Galaxy in the US.
Now Italian publicationTuttoMercatoWeb claim the Red Devils could be on the verge of attempting to bring him back from America.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate for striking reinforcements following the summer sales of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan.
Despite a recent upturn in form, his side are currently seventh in the Premier League table and have found the net just 13 times in their 10 top-flight matches.
A move for Juventus veteran forward Mario Mandzukic has been mooted for several months.
Now it seems that Swedish legend Ibrahimovic is also emerging as a serious transfer target.
Despite his age, the forward bagged 31 goals and provided eight assists in 31 games for Galaxy in all competitions.
He hit the target in the conference semi-final clash against rivals LAFC but it wasnt enough to help them reach the final.
The former Ajax, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan ace will now become a free agent in January.
And the fact that he already knows the club is appealing to United.
Ibrahimovic grabbed 29 goals in 53 appearances after joining the Red Devils in 2016 and helped them to win the EFL Cup and Europa League.
But todays report also claims Solskjaer could face some stiff competition for his signature.
Serie A giants Napoli and Inter are both also keen.
And Galaxy have not given up hope on keeping the star for another year, with the club willing to offer him 6m to sign on for another campaign.
