If
the pressure on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to help lift Manchester United back
to the pinnacle of world football wasn't great enough, he's now got Usain Bolt on his case.
The
34-year-old took part in his first training session with his new
teammates Thursday and he's already received a warm welcome from the
six-time Olympic champion -- a passionate United fan.
Ibrahimovic
is expected to play his first game in a United shirt Saturday, when
Jose Mourinho's side takes on Glatasaray in its final match on
pre-season tour.
"Hey
Zlatan, it's Usain Bolt. I just wanna say, welcome to the greatest team
you've ever been in: Manchester United," the Jamaican told CNN Sport.
"Looking forward to goals, I'll be watching you," he finishes with a laugh.
The
world's fastest man will be attempting to defend his three Olympic gold
medals in Brazil, as he aims for victory in the 100 and 200 meters as
well as the 4x100m relay.
