Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The 37-year-old spent two seasons at Old Trafford, between 2016 and 2018, scoring 17 goals in 33 Premier League appearances before moving on to join Galaxy, but he has now been linked with a return to the Red Devils.

Ibrahimovic's mooted return stems from quotes made by former United defender Clayton Blackmore, who believes the former Sweden international is exactly what the club is missing.

"I definitely think we should ask Zlatan to come back; we need a target man, he's the best target (man) in the world," Blackmore said, as reported by the Daily Express.

"6ft 5in black belt, he's proved in the MLS he can still do it. I thought we let him go because his knee was dodgy – we've now given (the MLS) Zlatan and (Wayne) Rooney for nothing.

"We won the Europa League, League Cup and Community Shield when he played for us... We need a target man so all our kids with pace can play off him...

"...Here ends the lesson, it's a no-brainer."
