Manchester United fans have been handed an early summer boost after Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped up his recovery from injury on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old ruptured the cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Europa League quarter-final win over Anderlecht in April.
And after undergoing an operation earlier this month, the Swedish striker has kicked a ball in anger for first time since suffering the horrific injury.
The veteran striker landed awkwardly and jarred his knee at the end of normal time in that Old Trafford clash.
