Zlatan Ibrahimovic trains with Wayne Rooney as Manchester United prepare to play Leicester in the Community Shield

Zlatan Ibrahimovic trains with Wayne Rooney as Manchester United prepare to play Leicester in the Community Shield on Sunday.

The session looked to have taken a light-hearted turn as six first-team players engaged in a game of head tennis, with Rooney and Ibrahimovic on the same side.

Ibrahimovic said on Wednesday that Rooney can be his "perfect partner" in attack for United this season.

The Swedish forward made his first appearance at Old Trafford as a United player on the same evening in Rooney's testimonial match against Everton.

Ibrahimovic showed some good touches on his United bow, and there were glimpses of the two showing a good understanding, most notably when the Swede shot at new Toffees goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg on 26 minutes.

He acrobatically volleyed in his first goal for the club against Galatasaray on July 31 in the International Champions Cup and will be hoping to add to his scoring tally when United take on Leicester at 4pm on Sunday.
