Zlatan Ibrahimovic is starting tonight and United fans can’t contain their excitement

The Swede started his first game in United colours on Saturday in a friendly against Galatasaray, scoring his first goal within four minutes with an acrobatic bicycle kick.

Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, has joined up with the United squad following an extended break after the conclusion of UEFA Euro 2016.

“We have something big going on”. He raced back to tackle Selcuk Inan, only to concede a foul yards outside of the United area. After Ibrahimovic conceded a sloppy free-kick 30 yards from goal, Wesley Sneijder whipped the ball into the area toward Gumus, who stabbed a header into the bottom corner and under Spain No. 1 David De Gea.

Provided that he does not get injured, Ibrahimovic gives United a quality finisher, which is something they have been missing since the year Robin van Persie powered the club to their 20th league title.

The English side’s other goals came from a Wayne Rooney brace, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata, as they eased to victory. Just as he announced himself to the world with his goal, Rashford announced himself to Zlatan with that run.

Mourinho’s men were then awarded a penalty two minutes later when Marcus Rashford was brought down.

“It would be great for both of them, especially for Zlatan”.

The Red Devils will next face Everton in Rooney’s testimonial before taking on Leicester City in the Community Shield next weekend.

Having seen what each can do individually, Mourinho needs to see what they can do together.

Ibrahimovic and Co. kick off their Premier League campaign against Bournemouth on 13 August. “I will play 22 players, I don’t care about the result too much, I want to give minutes to everyone”.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is playing a pivotal role in creating a friendly atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room, manager Jose Mourinho has said, adding that the striker should not restrict his role in the squad to goalscorer.
