Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says the addition of Romelu Lukaku over the summer has been crucial to their title hopes.

Ibrahimovic is delighted United have Lukaku at the club and has hailed to qualities his team-mate brings to Old Trafford.

"He's physically strong and he makes a lot of goals," he said.

“Every team needs a player like that.

"I'm glad he's at United. I think he'll help us a lot and he already has in just a short time."

The Swede could return from injury against Newcastle tomorrow.
