IBRAHIMOVIC IN MAN UTD SQUAD FOR GALATASARAY FRIENDLY

The big Swede could pull on a United shirt for the first time on Saturday after being included in Jose Mourinho's 23-man selection for the friendly against the Turkish side.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to make his Manchester United debut on Saturday after being named in a 23-man squad for the friendly with Galatasaray in Gothenburg.

The giant Swede moved to Old Trafford on a free transfer in early July, signing a one-year deal with an option for an extra year after leaving Paris Saint-Germain

And after taking an extended summer break following international duty with Sweden at Euro 2016, Ibrahimovic joined training for the first time on Thursday at United's Carrington training complex.

Having impressed new boss Jose Mourinho in practice, Ibrahimovic has been selected among 23 names to make the trip to his homeland for Saturday evening's fixture.

Among those not included in the traveling squad are nine players who have allegedly been told they have no future at the club under Mourinho.

Tim Fosu-Mensah, Paddy McNair, Tyler Blackett, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Andreas Pereira, Adnan Januzaj, Will Keane and James Wilson have all been encouraged to look for roles elsewhere by the Portuguese, and none of them have been included in the trip.

Chris Smalling continues his rehabilitation from injury, meaning he misses the 2:30 p.m. ET kick off at IFK Gothenburg's Ullievi Stadium.
