United completed the signing of Ibrahimovic on Friday, after the former Sweden international announced his move to the club via a typically theatrical Instagram post.
And Cole believes that the 34-year-old, who scored 156 goals in 180 games at PSG, will thrive at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho.
"He's a maverick who speaks his mind and that's my kind of guy. He's a footballer who scores goals and has achieved everything," he told MUTV.
"I think he'll make a massive impact here, just with his presence and the way he is. I think the fans will love him and appreciate him. He is a big-game guy. If you look at his CV, wherever he has gone, he has won championships and scored goals.
"He got 50 goals in France last season [in Ligue 1, the French cups and Champions League] and, while people might say it's not the strongest league, regardless he's done it. Can he score goals in the Premier League? Yes. Can he make a big impact at Old Trafford? I honestly do believe so.
"I think it's a massive coup, I really do believe that, as he's such a big presence with what he can bring to Old Trafford."
Ibrahimovic has won a league title with every club he has played for – Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan and PSG – and will hope to continue his incredible record with United.
