A happy Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived back at his hotel after finishing his first day at Manchester United.

A double session at the Carrington Training Complex put the Swede through his paces as he met his new teammates.

The 34-year-old took part in Jose Mourinho's training for the first time after a summer break following Euro 2016 and could make his debut on Saturday against Galatasaray.

The pre-season friendly will take place in his home country at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.

To mark his first day at the office, United tweeted a video of the striker heading out with Ashley Young and Marcus Rashford for his first session at Carrington:

United skipper Wayne Rooney said earlier this week that he is relishing the prospect of linking up with Ibrahimovic, with Mourinho expected to pair the two in attack.

“I'm looking forward to it,” said Rooney.

“I think he's been one of the best strikers in world football over the last 10 years and he's always won trophies everywhere he has been.

“He's a huge character so I'm looking forward to getting back, training with him and hopefully forming a good partnership and being successful together.”

Ibrahimovic was given an extended break by Mourinho following Sweden's early exit from Euro 2016 on June 22, meaning the striker has been away from football for five weeks.

The 34-year-old arrived in Manchester on Sunday and has spent the past three days working on a fitness programme tailored for him before joining the first-team squad.

“The best suits are suits by measure,” said Mourinho. “You go for a size that fits you. Same for players. No two players are the same.

"The decision on Zlatan is the consequence of many hours of study. He was out [of the Euros] one match before the English guys. The body and mind is different.

“Players prepare in a different way. We're trying to do suits by measure and to be perfect for the person."
