Sky Sports took Manchester United fans into an exuberant mood when they reported that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be interested in a move to Old Trafford if Louis Van Gaal leaves this season.
A perfect win-win situation for United fans!

Zlatan and Van Gaal coming together in a single news meant a field-day at Twitter.
Starting with buoyant United fans tweets
Isn’t that little too perfect world?
In a perfect world: Louis van Gaal leaves Manchester United, José Mourinho joins and the first signing in is Zlatan Ibrahimović.

A little too optimistic! But if anyone can, it is Zlatan.
Zlatan can knock the hell outta Van Gaal's fat chin ?? https://t.co/7XvUEk9iYF

This guy knows better.
Zlatan and Jose at United man ahhhh can't fucking wait. Although it's possible we'll end up with Rooney and Van Gaal.

There were some tweets that duly noted how much Zlatan hated Van Gaal.
Zlatan on LVG from his book: “Van Gaal wanted to be a dictator. He referred to players as numbers. I was glad when I could avoid him” #MUFC

“Pompous Ass”
Reading Zlatan's autobiography.

"Van Gaal is a pompous ass." — funniest sentence in the book so far.
And of course, Zlatan’s nose should get mentioned somewhere
@SkySportsNewsHQ lol Ibra's nose alone is bigger than United now

A few sensible ones, though, shared our skepticism.
Sky Sports are actually reporting Zlatan MIGHT be interested in going to United IF Van Gaal leaves. These people are on a good wage
