Zlatan Ibrahimovic will train with his new Manchester United team-mates tomorrow ahead of his expected debut at the weekend.

Ibrahimovic, who joined United on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain, is set to make his debut in his native Sweden when Jose Mourinho's side face Galatasaray in Gothenburg on Saturday.

United skipper Wayne Rooney is relishing the prospect of linking up with Ibrahimovic, with Mourinho looking to pair the two in attack, with the England skipper playing just off the former Swedish captain.

“I'm looking forward to it,” said Rooney, on linking up with Ibrahimovic.

“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 today.

“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."

Bastian Schweinsteiger, Anthony Matrtial, Morgan Schneiderlin and Marouane Fellaini will also return for pre-season tomorrow.
