United supporters will have to wait to get their first glimpse of world-record signing Paul Pogba after it emerged the France midfielder will miss the visit to the ­Vitality Stadium because of a one-match suspension which has been carried over from last season after he was booked in the semi-final and final of the Coppa Italia for Juventus.

But Ibrahimovic clearly has no intention of being upstaged this season by United’s new £89 million signing and the forward – who signed a one-year contract with the option of a further 12 months after leaving PSG as a free agent - has raised the prospect of staying at Old Trafford beyond his 37th birthday.
