Manchester United's summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic has promised to give fans 'what they want' as he prepares to make his debut.
Ibrahimovic will make his Red Devils bow on Saturday evening when United face Turkish giants Galatasaray in a pre-season friendly.
The encounter will take place in the veteran striker's homeland of Sweden at the Ullevi Stadium - a prospect that he is relishing.
'Everybody has been waiting for that moment,' he told MUTV. 'There has been a lot of talk and to make my debut in my country will feel great.
'I think the fans are waiting for me to come back and they are waiting to enjoy not only me, but the team as well. Hopefully, we can give them a good game and, at the same time, we are in the preparation.
'We need to keep focused, to build up the physical part and the conditioning part but we will give them what they want.'
Ibrahimovic met up with his new team-mates on Monday after an extended summer break following his Euro 2016 campgain with Sweden.
And reflecting on his first week at the Aon Training Complex, the 34-year-old spoke highly of his new surroundings and team-mates.
'Positive vibes. They seem to be good guys, quality players, they train very hard and, during the training, are very focused,' United's new No 9 added.
'The coach - he is direct, he is concrete, he says what he wants and the players are adapting. So there are only positive things.
'I believe in working hard. Not only in games but even in training. The way you train is the way you play in the games - that's my philosophy.
'Working hard, training hard and feeling good. Then you need to get the rhythm by playing games.'
