Zlatan Ibrahimovic completed his move to Man United last week

The 34-year-old completed his move to Old Trafford last week, signing a one-year deal after leaving French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Mourinho was officially unveiled as United's new boss earlier today and quickly set out his expectations ahead of the coming season.

And the Portuguese has now admitted Ibrahimovic has given himself the biggest challenge of his career by moving to Old Trafford.

"Zlatan is Zlatan," Mourinho told MUTV. 

"He wins year after year. His goal record is absolutely amazing, his passion for the game is incredible and it’s only possible with his passion and ambition, with his CV, to make the decision at this stage of his career, for the biggest challenge of his career.

"It’s the biggest club he’s ever played for and the most difficult competition he’s ever played for. He is an amazing player. I think it’s a beautiful thing when a coach has a player and, a few years later, has him again.

"It is beautiful, absolutely beautiful because it means the relationship was fantastic from a personal point of view and the professional engagement was great too. A few years later, we’re back together so I’m happy with that and I know what he can bring to us."
