#5 Mourinho would have gone to PSG – and Zlatan would stay there

Sacked by Chelsea after the horrendous start to 2015-16 season, Mourinho would be on the lookout for a new club. With Guardiola having taken over at United, Mourinho's long cherished dream of presiding over the dugout at Old Trafford would have to be shelved for the time being.

Having sacked Laurent Blanc despite winning Ligue 1 by 31 points, PSG would come calling. Being on the lookout for a manager with proven pedigree in European competition, who else fits the bill more perfectly than a manager with two CL titles and several semifinal appearances to his name?

Mourinho would move to PSG. Consequently, he would convince Ibrahimovic to stay for one more season. In the absence of viable offers (other than from the likes of USA and China), Zlatan would decide to stay – and the pair would take Ligue 1 and Champions League by storm in the 2016-17 season.
