Bayern Munich move to trump Man Utd for Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Bayern Munich are making a late move for Manchester United target Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Mirror says new Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti, who worked with Ibrahimovic at Paris St Germain, is understood to want a reunion with the Sweden captain.

Reports from Germany claim Bayern have made an approach to Ibrahimovic, amid fears their star striker Robert Lewandowski could join Real Madrid.

United believe they can still land Ibrahimovic, but will not have a free path to the 34-year-old's signature, with Bayern willing to do all they can to land him.

Unlike United, Bayern can offer Ibrahimovic Champions League football, the trophy the one glaring omission from the forward's otherwise sparkling CV.
