Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been training ahead of what could be his debut for Manchester United on Saturday night.

One of the most prolific strikers in Europe over the past decade, Ibrahimovic signed for United this summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain but was given a break after representing Sweden at Euro 2016.

Ibrahimovic trained with United for the first time on Thursday and could get his first chance to impress this weekend.

United's other summer signings, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, are also in the squad but there is no place for Bastian Schweinsteiger, who reportedly could be allowed to leave United this summer.

Captain Wayne Rooney sat out the 4-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai but is in line for his first appearance under new boss Mourinho.
