"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and looking forward to playing in the Premier League," The 34-year-old out-of-contract Swedish international striker told the club's website.
Ibrahimovic links up with his former Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
He continued, "I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England,'' he added.
Former Chelsea manager Mourinho, 53, who took charge after the sacking of Dutchman Louis van Gaal, said: "Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world. He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles. I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad."
Ibrahimovic made 180 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 156 goals. He has won championships in four different leagues since beginning his professional career with Malmo in 1999. Zlatan capped his country 116 times, scoring 62 goals, before announcing his retirement from international football last month.
