Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves the Lowry Hotel for the Radisson... because it didn't have a swimming pool!


Zlatan Ibrahimovic has decided to check out of Manchester United's favoured team hotel - because it doesn't have a swimming pool.
The Swedish striker has moved his family from the five-star Lowry Hotel, long used by United for preparations before home fixtures, to the Radisson Blu, used frequently by Manchester City.
At the heart of Ibrahimovic's decision was that, unlike the Lowry, the Radisson has a swimming pool.
United's summer signing, wife Helena and their children are now staying at the Radisson while they search for a place to live in Manchester.
The 34-year-old, who switched from Paris Saint-Germain, made a very impressive start to his United career by scoring just four minutes into his debut against Galatasaray in Gothenburg on Saturday night.
He wowed the crowd in his homeland by scoring an overhead kick from Antonio Valencia's right-wing cross, watching the ball bounce past goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Jose Mourinho was satisfied with United's response after they trailed 2-1 at half-time, scoring four unanswered second-half goals to emphatically beat the Turkish team 5-2.
As well as Ibrahimovic, captain Wayne Rooney scored twice, while Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata were also on the scoresheet.
And with United poised to complete the world record £100m signing of Paul Pogba from Juventus this week, Ibrahimovic believes 'something big' is about to happen at Old Trafford.
He told Swedish television station Kanal 5: 'We have something big going on, it looks very interestng. Let's see if Pogba will also [sign], then it will be even more interesting.'
Pogba would become United's fourth summer signing after the arrivals of Ibrahimovic, defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund.
Ibrahimovic is now expected to feature in Rooney's Old Trafford testimonial against Everton on Wednesday night before last season's FA Cup winners play Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield next Sunday.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
