Marouane Fellaini's latest Instagram activity is sure to boost the spirits of United fans everywhere as his latest story depicts Ibrahimovic practising his shooting ahead of a return to first-team action.

The post also has a caption which says, 'Don't compare a lion to a human', a phrase often coined by Ibrahimovic when referring to himself.

The Swede has not featured for United since April when he sustained a serious knee injury against Anderlecht in the Europa League quarter-finals.

His contract at Old Trafford ran out at the end of last season, but he was re-signed by Jose Mourinho in August and has opted to take the No 10 shirt, formerly worn by Wayne Rooney.

While the 36-year-old was United's main striking option last season, he will now be competing for a starting spot with Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian has had a flying start to life with United, scoring 11 goals in his opening 16 games.

But after seeing the 24-year-old go six games without a goal fans will be eager to see Ibrahimovic return in order to ease the goalscoring pressure on Lukaku.
