Louis Saha has backed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to give Manchester United a crucial lift when he returns from injury during the festive period.
Ibrahimovic, who is expected back in December, signed a new one-year deal in August following a fine debut season in England where he scored 28 goals in 46 games.
The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain man has been rewarded with a new contract despite originally being released after missing the final month of the campaign due to a cruciate knee injury.


And Saha believes the move could be a masterstroke by Jose Mourinho as he will boost the side with his experience, strength and sheer ability during a crucial point of the campaign.
