Striker eyes improbable Manchester United comeback.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is hoping to make a remarkably swift comeback for Manchester United, The Sun reports.

The Swede injured his knee against Anderlecht in a Europa League tie in April, and his contract was not renewed when it expired.

He was not expected to return to action until 2018 but he has made rapid progress in his recovery from injury.

The Sun report Ibrahimovic has earmarked the October 28 Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur for his potential return as he prepares to sign a new contract at Old Trafford.

The striker scored 28 goals for United last season and feels he has unfinished business for the Red Devils.

It is early on into the season but Jose Mourinho’s side are hopeful of putting together a title challenge this season after finishing sixth last time around.

They did manage to win the EFL Cup, with Ibrahimovic netting twice in the final, and also won the Europa League, for which he had to sit out the final as a spectator.

Upon his return he will have to fit around star signing Romelu Lukaku, who has netted three times in his opening two Premier League games.
