Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has warned title rivals that he is back to win the Premier League, having penned a new one-year-deal at Old Trafford.
The retired Sweden international, who joined Jose Mourinho in Manchester for a season last summer, saw his campaign cut short by injury and has been recovering at their Carrington training ground ever since, despite having been released by the club in June.
“I come back to finish what I started,” said the 35-year-old, who helped Mourinho to two major trophies last season - scoring twice in the EFL Cup final.
“From my first year here the team has been winning trophies and learning the sacrifice it takes to win a trophy. And the mental part and that is what I think the coach brought the team, the mental thing and me as a player.
“In the Premier League there are many [rivals], which are top six let’s say. They will give a hard time for everybody.
“Like last season Chelsea was the best team, they won. You’ll still have Chelsea, you have Liverpool, I think Everton are not to be underestimated because they have a great coach and they are investing a lot to win. And obviously you have Arsenal, [Manchester] City. So, I think it will look like last year but this year the Red Devils will be on top.”
Ibrahimovic is expected to be fit again in December, with Arsenal hosting the Red Devils at the start of the month.
