Swede star, who will return to Old Trafford after recovering from injury, has also praised the support of the club's fans
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has given his seal of approval to the chant devised by Manchester United fans in his honour.
The Swede star recently revealed he will return to Old Trafford after recovering from the ACL injury he sustained in last season's Europa League.
And Ibrahimovic praised the United fan-base for all of their support during his time at the club, having joined on a free from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
On his chant, Ibrahimovic said: “My children knows the song, 100 per cent.
"I am the one, sometimes I like to joke around, who tries to joke around with the children and try to sing the song but they’re not there yet.
"If I go slowly, then maybe I catch it!”
On the support of the fans, Zlatan added he is always happy to stop and chat, saying: “Wherever you go, you see a fan.
"When I walk into the city you see a red shirt, talking about the club, the players, they have a passion for football and that gives you extra motivation and I’m happy to meet the people.

"They either see you on TV or at the stadium so you want to give them a moment of this happiness when they see you.
"We have a lot of talks [with fans]. They’re happy.
“I knew United as a club has the biggest fan-base in the world, probably.
"But to really understand it you have to be a part of the club and move around the team and feel it even more, that is when you understand how big [it is].
"When you’re with the team and feel the fans, you realise it’s even bigger than you think it is.”
