It’s great to see.
In case you managed to miss it, Zlatan Ibrahimovic rejoined Manchester United on Thursday.
It is quite remarkable really, the Swede is 35-years-old and suffered a serious knee injury when facing Anderlecht in the Europa League last season but has managed to rehabilitate successfully and ahead of schedule to return to Old Trafford.
No doubt that the journey was a struggle that took serious mental and physical resilience but upon the announcement that Ibrahimovic had rejoined the club they shared a video documenting his return to football.

“It’s time to finish what I started. The Journey Continues,” Zlatan says to conclude the video.
Manchester United fans were no doubt delighted with their star man from last season returning and it has now put the cherry on top of what has been a very successful transfer window.
The signings of Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic have been an instant success as Jose Mourinho’s side have romped to two 4-0 victories in the Premier League thus far as they sit top of the table in the very early stages of the league.
The club also signed Victor Lindelof from Benfica in an effort to further strengthen their back line and the addition of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a frightening concept given that the forward line already includes the previously mentioned Lukaku along with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard.
Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals in 46 appearances last season and spoke of his delight at rejoining the club.
“I am back to finish what I started. It was always mine and the club’s intention for me to stay. I cannot wait to get back out on that Old Trafford pitch, but I also know that I have to take my time to make sure that I am ready. I have been working hard and will continue to do so to make sure I am in the best possible condition for my return to the pitch.”
