David De Gea is excited by the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at
Manchester United and expects the former Sweden striker to settle into
Premier League life quickly.
Ibrahimovic, 34, scored in the first four minutes of his United debut during the 5-2 friendly win against Galatasaray.
And De Gea has been impressed by what he has seen of his new teammate in training and on the pitch so far.
De Gea told MUTV:
"It's really good to have Zlatan already here, training with the team.
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 and it's the same with the other guys we've
signed."
De Gea believes United's trio of summer signings, which
includes Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as well as Ibrahimovic, have
energised the squad and he is looking forward to the Community Shield
against Premier League champions Leicester.
De Gea added: "[Adding
to the squad] gives us more energy, when you see players like them
coming to Manchester and now we have to train all together, trying to be
fit as soon as possible, and now we're going to play the first game
against Leicester City with the Community Shield up for grabs."
