Ibrahimovic was spotted waving and smiling to fans as he climbed the steps as he prepares for a possible return to Jose Mourinho's starting XI.

The Swedish forward was back on the pitch for the first time this season when he came off the bench against Newcastle last weekend and made another substitute appearance in their midweek defeat against Basel.

Also pictured making his way into the hotel was Romelu Lukaku who has seen his role shifted with the return of Ibrahimovic.

The summer signing moved to the right wing to accommodate the return of Ibrahimovic in both of his substitute appearances so far, but the move wide out has not suited the Belgium international.
