Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's two young sons have reportedly joined the club's academy setup.

According to The Sun, the Swede's 10-year-old son Max and eight-year-old son Vincent have begun sessions with United youth coaches in recent weeks alongside Wayne Rooney's six-year-old son Kai.

"The hope at the club is some of their dad's talent has rubbed off on the youngsters," a source told the newspaper.

"Manchester United are known for their youth development, and this is just another stride towards finding stars of the future. United have some of the best youth coaches in the world, and the players know they're in the right place."

Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt have also enrolled their children into the United academy.
