After suffering a serious knee injury which ended his Manchester United career towards the end of last season, most thought it would be many months before Zlatan Ibrahimovic was seen kicking a ball again.
However, despite suffering ligament damage in April, the striker has been filmed kicking a ball once again as he looks to recover and return to playing.
He did look rusty, however, as his keepy-up abilities were put to shame by a freestyler in videos posted to Instagram.

Ibrahimovic took on trickster Tobias Becs in Stockholm, and was certainly left impressed with the skills on display.
Becs demonstrated the full range, with keepy-ups, round the worlds, and headers, before doing a handstand with the ball balanced on the sole of his shoe, to which Zlatan could only applaud.
The former Sweden international then had a go himself, but looked to be lacking his usual sharpness, struggling initially to get the ball under control before losing it after a mistimed heel flick.

Despite besting Sweden's record goalscorer however, Becs seemed starstruck, posing for a picture with the forward and describing him as a 'legend' on social media.
Becs wrote of Zlatan, who is currently without a club after leaving United: 'Not only a great football player, but also a great person.'
Despite his injury Zlatan is being linked with a number of clubs, with former employers AC Milan the latest to enter the race for his signature. A return to Old Trafford has not been completely ruled out either.
