Sweeden legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been included in the Manchester United squad for the Champions League, backing up the news the striker could return to action ahead of expected time.
Ibrahimovic, 35, has re-signed for the Manchester club after being released in the summer.
He is not expected to be ready until January after undergoing knee surgery in May, but he will be allowed to feature for United’s Champions League group games against Basel, Benfica and CSKA Moscow after he was named in the 24-man squad submitted to UEFA.
Striker James Wilson, who has returned after a lengthy spell with a knee injury, has also been included on United’s A list for the competition.
Marcus Rashford, who does not turn 20 until October, is eligible for the B list.
United start their Champions League campaign with a home game against Basel on Sept. 12. Their last game is against CSKA Moscow, also at Old Trafford, on Dec. 5.
