Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic received positive news and should, according to Tuttosport, be back on the bench against Manchester United.

The newspaper reveals the veteran showed positive signs during the latest medical tests at Casa Milan and the Swede aims for a place on the bench against his former club on Thursday.

Milan drew 1-1 at Old Trafford, thanks to a late goal by Simon Kjaer, and could have the 39-year-old available for the return leg in the fashion capital.

Ibrahimovic suffered a tear in the adductor muscle during the 2-1 win over Roma in Serie A and the Swede has struggled with injuries throughout the 2020-21 campaign.

He has missed 13 games in Serie A due to injury and sat out the first leg of their clash with the Red Devils at Old Trafford last week.

Ibrahimovic scored 29 goals in 53 games for United, before he moved to LA Galaxy in the MLS. He returned to Italy in January 2020 and has helped Milan sit second in Serie A this term, with 14 goals in as many League games.
