Zlatan Ibrahimovic teases return with latest gruelling workout
Ibrahimovic was released by Manchester United this summer after just one season at Old Trafford.
The 35-year-old finished as United’s top goalscorer last term to help Mourinho’s side to a Europa League and EFL Cup double.
But United decided against extending his stay after he picked up a serious knee injury in April - ruling him out of action until at least December.
Mourinho has admitted on numerous occasions that he could bring Ibrahimovic back to Old Trafford in January.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to take huge pay cut at Manchester United
Ibrahimovic earned a huge £365,000 a week last season, but the Daily Star claim he will have to accept a huge pay cut to rejoin.
When asked about the possibility of Ibrahimovic returning in January, Mourinho said: “Possible, it’s open, of course we wanted to be honest and open and let everything for him to make the decision.
“At the same time let’s make a decision that makes us all happy and if that is for him to stay and for us to wait, let’s say in December maybe, because I don’t think before December he can get back to competitive football, but why not wait for a player who gave us so much.
“We are changing ideas and it’s with Mr Woodward and Zlatan’s agent but the final decision is the best for the player.”
