ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC is targeting Manchester United's clash against Tottenham in October to make his comeback.
Just four months after his season-ending knee injury, the Swede has confounded medics and has penned a new one-year deal with the club.

Ibrahimovic, 35, has told pals that the injury is now fully recovered and he is planning proper ball work in the next few weeks.
Jose Mourinho could have the experienced forward available as early as Tottenham's visit on October 28.
SunSport recently revealed Ibra had been ordered to take a break from Carrington by his medics and go on holiday after working so hard on his rehab during the early part of summer.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star has been pictured diving off his luxury yacht but United insiders were not perturbed and insist the 35-year-old is almost back to full strength.
