The forward is expected to join LA Galaxy, with whom he has been heavily linked for some time. In so doing, he will follow the likes of Robbie Keane and David Beckham to the West Coast.
Ibrahimovic is determined to prolong his professional career, despite only returning from a serious knee injury this season.
The forward scored 29 goals in 53 games for Jose Mourinho’s side and helped them secure the League Cup and Europa League in the Portuguese manager’s first season in charge.
But following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku in the summer, Ibrahimovic has seen his first-team opportunities limited since recovering from his knee problem.
The 36-year-old has not ruled out ending his international retirement to play at this summer’s World Cup for Sweden.
