Back in 2016, then United boss Jose Mourinho secured the striker's services for 12 months with the option of a second-year extension to help boost the club's hopes of silverware.
His maiden campaign at Old Trafford yielded 28 goals in all competitions and culminated in a League Cup and Europa League double.
However, after an ACL injury in the next season, his time at the club was cut short before he left for LA Galaxy in 2018.
Shaw, who played alongside the Swedish legend, says his mentality was like nothing he had ever seen in his career so far as he brought his competitive nature to the side.
"I don't think I've come across one like that before," he admitted. "His winning mentality was something I don't think I've seen. A lot of top players have winning mentalities, but his was so, so big. Even in little training games, he always wanted to win. I mean, if you didn't win, and you were on his team, then you would know about it.
"He was proper, proper aggressive. And he was like that, but I think you need people like that in your team. You need someone like that. He was really, like I say, dedicated as well. I think he was also at the top of his game. But yeah, he was a proper good character, and everyone loved him. I don't think there was one person that didn't get on with him."
Ibrahimovic, now retired, recently revealed he will join Fox Sports for its 2026 World Cup coverage as fans get more of a taste of his punditry and takes on this summer’s tournament.
