Ibrahimovic, Schweinsteiger and Mourinho on the menu at Man United

The Zlatan Burger in all its glory.
Manchester United supporters looking forward to a taste of the action in 2016-17 can satisfy their hunger with a glance at what is being served up in a restaurant run by United legends Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.
Cafe Football -- which they first opened in London, then added a Manchester branch -- has been producing some dishes that will make fans lick their lips.
The Zlatan Burger was a new addition to the menu during Euro 2016, and although the Swede did not last long in France, the burger will stay for the new Premier League season. It might not be quite as fiery as United's new striker, though, as it's a meatball patty -- Swedish, of course -- which is served with a creamy sauce and pickled cucumber.
Perhaps if you don't want to splash out on the Swedish option, you might like the new Schweins Tiger instead. United's Bastian Schweinsteiger is a traditional German midfielder in many ways and the dish named after him might be approved of in his homeland: a sausage.
Schweins Tiger in all its glory.
It's not just the current players who have been immortalised in cuisine, though. There's a dish called Giggsy's -- which is also a sausage, but guess which type? Welsh dragon, of course. Meanwhile, Nev's Noodle Pot might leave strikers in a tangle.
The Nicky Butty, meanwhile, is made up of Pastrami and Lancashire cheese. And fans might like a Red Devil cocktail -- it's very red, with strawberry puree and cranberry juice among the ingredients.
There's also a burger for manager Jose Mourinho which contains chargrilled chicken piri piri. Its name? The Special One.
