Sky's James Cooper reports from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's home town of Malmo in Sweden to find out what they're expecting from the striker at Manchester United.

What do the people of Sweden think about Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic?

The enigmatic striker has already endeared himself to the United faithful, scoring the winner against Leicester in Sunday's Community Shield to pick up his first piece of silverware at the club.

The self-proclaimed footballing "king" claimed to have left former club Paris Saint-Germain as a "legend" after a trophy-laden four year spell at the Parc des Princes.

What's clear is that since Ibrahimovic left Swedish shores - playing at Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan, and PSG before joining United - to pursue a career in football, he has certainly left his mark.

However, after his international career fizzled out with a disappointing showing at Euro 2016, has his reputation been tarnished in his homeland?
