Manchester United fans have been handed an early summer boost after Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped up his recovery from injury on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old ruptured the cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Europa League quarter-final win over Anderlecht in April.
And after undergoing an operation earlier this month, the Swedish striker has kicked a ball for first time since suffering the horrific injury.
Those fears could be eased by the footage he has shared on his Instagram page, as he kicked a ball with both feet for the first time in six weeks.
In the post he declared: 'The touch will never disappear. Lions don't recover like humans.
The striker, signed on a free transfer from PSG last summer, scored 28 goals in 46 appearances in his debut season.
His performances were not enough to secure a top four finish for United, though Jose Mourinho's side secured Champions League qualification after winning the Europa League twice.
Ibrahimovic also scored twice in the EFL Cup final win over Southampton in February.
