Zlatan Ibrahimovic met his Manchester United teammates for the first time on Thursday, training with them in the summer drizzle at Carrington.
The other players had already heard the stories from club staff, who'd met the Swede, about his size and presence. At 98 kilograms, the striker, who is six-foot-five-inches tall, will be by far the heaviest at the club. (He's 30 kilos heavier than his old strike partner Lionel Messi, not that they're the same type of player.) A lack of physical prowess is unlikely to prevent him settling in England, where he has never played club football.
