Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a new contact at Man Utd

That’s according to former player turned pundit Paul Merson who isn’t convinced the two players can line up in the same side.

United re-signed Ibrahimovic earlier in the week.

But Merson says the Swedish superstar will upset the balance in the side.

“I just don’t get it, I really don’t,” Merson said on Sky Sports.

“I know he got all those goals last season but who else had a great season last year? (Ander) Herrera, (Antonio) Valencia, no one else.

“Look at Mkhitaryan now, that won’t happen if Ibrahimovic is up front. Look at the way they were breaking then, it was too slow.

“For me Mkhitaryan is one of the best players in the league, when he’s got pace around him like that.

“I know people are coming to me and going ‘oh but he won’t play’. He’s not coming there to sit on the bench.

“If (Romelu) Lukaku doesn’t score for two games, the fans will be singing his name, he’ll come on, he will nick a goal because that’s the way he plays and he’s still a good player but won’t be good enough for Manchester United, and then he’s in the team.

“Then it all slows down again. He’s the other side of 35, he’s just had a bad injury. I know he keeps himself fit but I just don’t get it, I really don’t.

“If I was Man City or I was Liverpool or I was Chelsea or Tottenham, I’d be wanting him coming back. I don’t think it helps Man United.”

United defeated Leicester 2-0 at Old Trafford this afternoon.

United took the lead through Marcus Rashford in the second-half.

Marouane Fellaini added a second with eight minutes remaining to seal the win.
