Jose Mourinho insists Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford could forge an “amazing” partnership at Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic confirmed his move to Old Trafford last week and will link up with Rashford, who made his impressive introduction to United’s first team last season.
Mourinho’s usual formations feature just one striker – but he is adamant that the duo can complement each other due to their age and quality.
”Let me start with one point. 34 is Zlatan’s age and 18 is Marcus Rashford’s age,” the United manager told MUTV.
“34 plus 18 divided by two is the perfect age for a football player.
“So our two strikers, they are exactly in the perfect age because 18 is not the perfect age and 34 is not.
“So I think they can be an amazing complement for each other with their qualities.”
Mourinho was unveiled to the media as United manager on Tuesday and has wasted no time in strengthening the squad ahead of next season.
In addition to Ibrahimovic, the Red Devils have also signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan to boost their attack ahead of a Premier League title charge.
