Zlatan Ibrahimovic shows off his football juggling skills as he eyes Manchester United return after horrific injury

Free agent shows Jose Mourinho he means business in his comeback from knee surgery

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC shows he still has it even after a horrific knee injury threatened to end his career.

The free agent - who wants to play again for Manchester United - shook off some of the rustiness with some football freestylers.

And though the man who this week compared himself to King Kong wasn't quite as good as the lads who do it full-time, he looked like he still had the magic in his feet.

In fact, trickster Tobias Becs wiped the floor with Zlatan after pulling off a number of impressive skills on the streets of Stockholm.

One move even included a handstand with the ball delicately balanced on the sole of his foot.

Ibrahimovic had a go but lost control of the ball with a nonchalant heel flick.

It certainly wasn't on a par with former United team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan's wondergoal last season.

Ibra wants to stay with Jose Mourinho's side - who appear to have found his possible replacement in the form of Romelu Lukaku.

But that hasn't diminished the Swedish star's legendary ego.

Just last week he showed himself immortalised on a 1,000 Swedish Krona note - and even likened himself to Benjamin Franklin.

And Mourinho reckons Ibra still has a future at Old Trafford - because he HAD to buy Lukaku due to Zlatan's injury.

He said: "We spent big money on a striker because, with strikers, you either spend or you don't get.

"We spent because of what happened to Zlatan and we cannot allow ourselves to be without an important, strong striker for the first six months of the season."
