ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has hinted that he could move to the No10 role once he makes his comeback from injury.
The Swede's return to full training has sparked speculation that he could make the bench against Newcastle on Saturday following seven months on the sidelines with a cruciate knee ligament injury. Question marks have been raised as to how boss Jose Mourinho will accommodateboth £75million signing Romelu Lukaku and Ibrahimovic.
But it appears the veteran striker has the answer.
Speaking in a Volvo video, Ibrahimovic revealed: "To me, number 10 is the star.
"The one who makes the difference, gets noticed, wins the matches and is the leader.
"And I see myself in that position but it is not something that is given to you, it is just something you are, that's just the way it is.
"To be honest, it is like a trigger for me coming back from that injury. Because I wore the number 10 on the Swedish national team and PSG. "I would have worn it at Inter but I soon moved to Barcelona. I wanted it in Milan but took another number out of respect. In Ajax I didn't have it.
"I feel like a ten and I stand for number 10. It will go down in history that I always had number 10." Ibra, 36, was initially released but Mourinho convinced him to return and his recovery has defied the odds.
Fellow striker Lukaku, who arrived in July, said: “Ibrahimovic coming back will help us chase Manchester City.”
The two clubs meet at Old Trafford on December 10.
