The Italy worldwide defender joined United from Torino past year and made 39 appearances in all competitions in his first season at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney has tipped Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make a big impact at Manchester United, as he admitted his excitement going in to the new season.

‘It’s a massive help to be with him every day. It is a unique opportunity for me to learn from a legend like him and I hope to take advantage of that.

Daley Blind wants to be part Jose Mourinho’s plans at Manchester United and said he and all the players are working hard to earn places to start.

“Hopefully we can score a lot of goals next season because that’s what we want to do”. We lost a week in China [the postponed Manchester derby] and some of the boys who played today, trained for two days.

Fans will get their first glimpse of Ibrahimovic when United face Turkish giants Galatasaray in Saturday’s pre-season fixture in the star striker’s native Sweden.

But half-time replacements Marcus Rashford, Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard looked far sharper and led to United’s revival after a sleepy first 45 minutes.

“I think he will settle in very quickly”.

Manchester United is scheduled to kick off their Premier League season against reigning champions Leicester City next weekend.

“I would not keep them in my squad”. “What I’m saying is not only for me but everyone in the squad”.
