With the announcement of Zlatan Ibrahimovic re-signing with the Manchester United last week, the club have ensured that we will see one of the iconic players of all-time play for the storied club once again.
And when he returns, he will dawn the No. 10 kit — only the 13th player in the last 60 odd years to have the honor.
"“I never left, I just upgraded my number,” Ibrahimovic said."
It truly is an upgrade. To share the same number that has graced the back of football legends and we know Ibrahimovic certainly is capable of doing it justice.
