Manchester United's David De Gea impressed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic



ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti provides an update on the Paul Pogba transfer saga.

David De Gea is excited by the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United and expects the former Sweden striker to settle into Premier League life quickly.

Ibrahimovic, 34, scored in the first four minutes of his United debut during the 5-2 friendly win against Galatasaray.

And De Gea has been impressed by what he has seen of his new teammate in training and on the pitch so far.

De Gea told MUTV: "It's really good to have Zlatan already here, training with the team. You can see he's a top player. He's massive, very big, with a lot of quality and of course he is a top striker.

"I think he will settle in very quickly. You can look and it seems like he has been playing here many years already and it's the same with the other guys we've signed."

De Gea believes United's trio of summer signings, which includes Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as well as Ibrahimovic, have energised the squad and he is looking forward to the Community Shield against Premier League champions Leicester.

De Gea added: "[Adding to the squad] gives us more energy, when you see players like them coming to Manchester and now we have to train all together, trying to be fit as soon as possible, and now we're going to play the first game against Leicester City with the Community Shield up for grabs."
