Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has backed Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to be a hit in the Premier League.
The 34-year-old Swede joined the Red Devils on a free transfer this summer having seen a trophy-laden four-year spell with Paris Saint-Germain come to an end.
Ibrahimovic brings with him a winning reputation having lifted the league title in 13 of his last 15 seasons as a player, and Ranieri does not expect him to flop in England.
"Yes, I think [he will be a hit]. He's a big champion, fantastic character, a brilliant player and a good player for United," he told reporters.
Ranieri's side are expected to come up against Ibrahimovic on Sunday when Manchester United take on the Foxes in the Community Shield.
