Zlatan Ibrahimovic has welcomed the prospect of AC Milan signing Mario Mandzukic.

The former Juventus striker is set to arrive primarily as cover for the Swede.

Ibrahimovic said, “I'm happy, we now have two that scare our opponents."

On his brace last night against Cagliari, the centre-forward added: “I had to do another one. It took two to win. It was a difficult game.

“I didn't play for 57 days, I'm sorry. It can happen.

“We are doing well, we are almost halfway through the championship. Now, the most difficult games are starting.

“It will be a very tough programme, but with Mandzukic, [Soualiho] Meite, I don't know if more people will arrive."
