Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss Manchester United's preseason tour of China as the Sweden striker takes an extended break following Euro 2016.

Ibrahimovic joined Jose Mourinho's side on a free transfer after leaving French champions Paris Saint-­Germain at the end of last ­season, but the Premier League club's legion of fans in China won't get a first glimpse of the marquee signing in a United shirt.

Although United's 25-man squad for the trip includes Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford, Chris Smalling, David de Gea and Paddy McNair - who all exited Euro 2016 later than Ibrahimovic - the former Barcelona and Inter Milan forward was granted extra time off by Mourinho and is currently ­sunning himself in Los Angeles.
