A star attacker to make a comeback as Man United as Zlatan in on a break against Zorya

Manchester Untied were off to a great start to their Premier League campaign till they hit a ditch on their way to their first Europa League encounter.

The Red Devils were taught a lesson in the first half of the Manchester derby a couple of weeks ago and the remains of the nightmare of a first half saw the club drop all three points against Feyenoord in the first game of the group stage of the Europa League.

Though they fell down to the Hornets in the league that weekend, they were back with a bang against the Champions of England this weekend putting 4 past them at home and taking all three points from the game.

They will resume their European campaign this week with a home game against Zorya, a Ukrainian outfit and will hope to take all three points this time around.

The manager will not be expected to make too many changes to the squad for that game having started the campaign with a loss, but it looks like he will be without one of the best players in the squad so far this season.

Reports today revealed that the Swede was not with the team training for the game on Friday and was instead spotted in Italy, enjoying a mini holiday.

The 34-year old failed to get on the scoresheet in the last two league games and it is now understood that Jose Mourinho has granted him a small holiday at the start of the week after the performance against Leicester City at the weekend.

Gazzetta dello Sport,  an Italian news outfit, reveal that Ibrahimovic was spotted in Milan on Monday, in a restaurant run by Roberto Okabe.

It is revealed that he met with former AC Milan team-mate Clarence Seedorf and that the purpose of the break was to take some overdue rest ahead of the next Premier League game.

Mourinho has revealed earlier this season that the Premier League is of utmost importance to his side this season but the Swede played a part in the League Cup game and also in the first fixture in the Europa League, albeit as a substitute.

Though the international break would have been a decent time out for Zlatan, who has retired from international football, but Mourinho does not see him play a role in the game against Zorya and has granted him a leave.

However, the manager will welcome the likes  of Henrikh Mkhitaryan back to the squad for this game against Zorya.

The former Borussia Dortmund attacker has not played a part in the side’s games since been replaced in the second half of the Manchester derby earlier this month.

It is now revealed that he back in training and all set to play a role in the Europa League game on Friday.

What do you think is the best lineup for Manchester United for this game against Zorya?
