Paul Pogba says that he 'cannot wait' to link up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United as he prepares to make his second debut for the Red Devils.

Paul Pogba has revealed that he 'cannot wait' to link up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United.

Both Pogba and Ibrahimovic have made the move to Old Trafford this summer and the pair are expected to take to the field in Friday night's Premier League game against Southampton.

Pogba, who re-joined Man United for a world-record fee, has branded Ibrahimovic "a good guy" and revealed that the Swede's colourful personality has already proved a hit in Manchester.

"It's always good to play with big players. I was lucky to play with top players at Juve too. Players like him want to make big things. You need to have big players," Pogba told Sky Sports News.

"He loves to joke. Every time I see him he says something about my shoes, about my hair. And the way he talks too...'I am Zlatan'. The way he's talking is just funny. He is a good guy."

Pogba joined Man United as a highly-rated teenager from Le Havre in 2009, but left on a free transfer in 2012 after failing to agree a new contract with the English giants.
