The former Barcelona striker has been handed the No. 11 shirt, same as the number he wore on his first stint from 2010 to 2012.

Ibrahimovic has also had spells with Juventus and Inter Milan but helped AC win the Scudetto in 2011 before departing for Paris Saint-Germain the following season.

Milan are currently languishing in 11th position despite hiring a second manager and suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Atlanta last weekend.
