Zlatan Ibrahimovic has decided to check out of Manchester United's favoured team hotel - because it doesn't have a swimming pool.

The Swedish striker has moved his family from the five-star Lowry Hotel, long used by United for preparations before home fixtures, to the Radisson Blu, used frequently by Manchester City.

At the heart of Ibrahimovic's decision was that, unlike the Lowry, the Radisson has a swimming pool.

United's summer signing, wife Helena and their children are now staying at the Radisson while they search for a place to live in Manchester.

The 34-year-old, who switched from Paris Saint-Germain, made a very impressive start to his United career by scoring just four minutes into his debut against Galatasaray in Gothenburg on Saturday night.

He wowed the crowd in his homeland by scoring an overhead kick from Antonio Valencia's right-wing cross, watching the ball bounce past goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

Jose Mourinho was satisfied with United's response after they trailed 2-1 at half-time, scoring four unanswered second-half goals to emphatically beat the Turkish team 5-2.

As well as Ibrahimovic, captain Wayne Rooney scored twice, while Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata were also on the scoresheet.

And with United poised to complete the world record £100m signing of Paul Pogba from Juventus this week, Ibrahimovic believes 'something big' is about to happen at Old Trafford.

He told Swedish television station Kanal 5: 'We have something big going on, it looks very interestng. Let's see if Pogba will also [sign], then it will be even more interesting.'

Pogba would become United's fourth summer signing after the arrivals of Ibrahimovic, defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund.
