Manchester United signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to live in Manchester's suburbs, rather than Cheshire.

The Swedish icon, 34, and his family is understood to be looking at renting a property in Heaton Mersey rather than live in the Alderley Edge area favoured by so many of his team-mates, says the Daily Express.

And the move is likely to endear Ibrahimovic to United fans in the same way as they took to Eric Cantona, who lived in a modest home - by footballer's standards at least - in the Manchester suburbs when he first joined United in 1992.

Ibrahimovic is still on a post-Euro 2016 break in California while his new United team-mates arrived in China on Tuesday for a two-match tour.
