Ibrahimovic confident City can be caught

MANCHESTER, England - Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Manchester United can catch runaway Premier League leader Manchester City after he and Paul Pogba made a triumphant return from long-term injuries on the weekend.

The Swedish striker came on as a late substitute in the 4-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday, his first action since sustaining a career-threatening knee injury in April.

His return drew an emotional response from United manager Jose Mourinho, who had also been able to welcome back club-record signing Pogba, who started against Newcastle, setting up an equalizer and scoring himself.
