The 36-year-old Swede has been sidelined since April
after injuring his ACL in the Europa League match against Anderlecht.
But
he came on to a rousing reception as a 77th-minute substitute for Anthony
Martial.
Speaking after the game, the striker told BT Sport:
"It feels special. Different day, same quality, so I'm not worried at all
because I know what I'm doing.
"I
train hard, sacrificed a lot and it's my head that's playing - my knees just
need to follow - so I'm not worried at all. Was I worried about returning? No.
Lions don't recover like humans."
The
Swede was not the only player making a welcome return for Manchester United.
Paul Pogba started the game after being out for 12 weeks with a hamstring
injury, scoring one and setting up another as United came back from a goal down
to win the match comfortably.
