Zlatan Ibrahimovic's burning desire to win the Premier League is the reason behind his return to Manchester United, according to Thierry Henry.
Ibrahimovic – recovering from a serious knee injury – returned to United on Thursday, signing a one-year contract at Old Trafford after he was released when his previous deal expired at the end of June.
"They kept Zlatan, but I think Zlatan takes it as a challenge that he has with himself. I think he wants to do more, and he still didn't win the league," Henry told Sky Sports.
"I know that he wants to win the Premier League, to make England another country that he conquered.
"I'm not surprised, because if I was there [at Man United] I would want to keep a guy like Zlatan in and around the dressing room.
"Having him around [Romelu] Lukaku, having him around Marcus Rashford [is beneficial]. Rashford was talking about it last year, he knows how to get that dressing room together.
"I'm not surprised in a way because we are talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the best that has done it in the game, for me."
