The Swede made his comeback from knee ligament damage in the victory over Newcastle at Old Trafford, coming on as a 77th minute replacement for Anthony Martial.
In true Zlatan fashion, he was straight into the heart of the action and he almost marked his cameo in spectacular fashion late on.
In the 90th minute, the veteran striker met Nemanja Matic's ball with an acrobatic volley at the far post, only for Newcastle goalkeeper Rob Elliot to deny him a fairltale return.
