    De Gea feels Ibrahimovic will settle at Manchester United quickly

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will take no time to settle at Manchester United and is already at the hub of their dressing room.

That's the view of David de Gea, who watched Ibrahimovic score within three minutes of his pre-season bow on Saturday.

The Sweden striker found the net against Galatasaray, executing a brilliant scissor kick to announce himself at United.

He did not need a goal to do that though, with De Gea claiming Ibrahimovic is acting as if he has been wearing the red of United for years.

'It's really good to have Zlatan already here, training with the team,' the Spaniard said.

'You can see he's a top player, he's massive, very big, with a lot of quality and of course he is a top striker.  I think he will settle in very quickly. You can look and it seems like he has been playing here many years already.'

Ibrahimovic arrived in Manchester last weekend, switching hotels on Wednesday in favour of a city centre location. Greater Manchester Police had to be called after reports of harassment outside the Radisson Blu's entrance, such is the clamour to catch a glimpse of the 34-year-old.

It is behind closed doors where the former Paris Saint-Germain striker is making his biggest impression, already becoming a hit at Carrington.

Marcus Rashford wants to soak up all he can from training with Ibrahimovic. 'We can definitely all learn from him while he is here, so we all need to take that chance' the teenager said.

'It's a massive help to be with him every day and it's great to see what he is like on and off the pitch. There is a lot to learn from him and hopefully I can bring some of his game into mine.'

And De Gea added that two other new signings - Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan - appear equally relaxed and at home.

'It is same with the other guys we've signed,' De Gea said. 'They are playing really well, their training has been top and I think that we have signed really good players.'
