"?Manchester United's move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be in jeopardy as Bayern Munich are lining him up as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is wanted at Real Madrid.
The Old Trafford club was expected to land the Sweden captain this summer, as Jose Mourinho looks to add star quality to his squad, but now face competition from the Bundesliga champions.
New Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti was Paris St-Germain manager when Ibrahimovic joined the club in 2012, and "?a report in the Mirror suggests that he would welcome a reunion with the Swedish star. Polish striker Lewandowski is being coveted by Madrid, who are considering a bid to make him this summer's big name Galactico signing.
Whilst United's new manager Mourinho - who also worked with Ibrahimovic for a season, at Inter Milan - can rely on the lure of playing in the Premier League, Bayern can offer the carrot of Champions League football next season, something that the Red Devils cannot, having finished fifth in the Premier League last time around.
The Champions League trophy is the one glaring omission from the Swede's illustrious career, and the temptation of winning it next season could prove too much for the 34-year-old.
With both clubs willing to meet his wage demands, rumoured to be £200,000 a week, plus handing him a sizeable signing on fee, it remains to be seen where the former Barcelona and Juventus star will be playing his club football next season.
Ibrahimovic is currently on international duty with Sweden at Euro 2016, but having already confirmed his intentions to move this summer, he has openly stated that he will announce his destination after the tournament.
He has also been named in Sweden's squad for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, although he has yet to confirm his participation.
