Paul Pogba believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Manchester United return will strike fear into the hearts of their opponents
Talismanic forward on verge of recovering from knee injury and will be hoping to continue his goalscoring antics
Paul Pogba says the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic will strike fear into Manchester United's title rivals.
Pogba is currently nursing a hamstring injury and has joined Ibra on the treatment table.
But he says the return of Zlatan, who agreed a new deal while crocked with a knee injury, gives United a fear factor.
Pog said: "He is very important to the group and when he is in the team he makes the other sides scared of him as well.
"When they see Zlatan and know we have big players like this, they fear the club."
The striker was a major hit during his one season at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals as United went on to scoop an EFL Cup and Europa League double.
But he was released on a free transfer after picking up his knee injury late in the campaign.

However, despite signing Romelu Lukaku, Jose Mourinho clearly thinks there’s more to come from Ibrahimovic.
The Swede has returned to United for the remainder of the season and could be back before the tough run of Christmas fixtures.
United are looking to compete on all fronts this time around and the addition of Ibrahimovic will allow Mourinho to make extra changes when he sees fit.
