Jose Mourinho expects Zlatan Ibrahimovic to complement rather than compete with Romelu Lukaku after welcoming the striker back to the Manchester United squad, along with Paul Pogba.

Both players make eagerly anticipated returns to United colours against Newcastle on Saturday, with Pogba in contention to start after a two-month lay-off and Ibrahimovic among the substitutes for the first time since injuring his cruciate knee ligaments in April.

Defender Marcos Rojo is also restored to the matchday squad, having injured his knee in the same match as Ibrahimovic, but the Argentinean's return is a minor boost compared to the fanfare surrounding his fit-again team-mates.
