    The imminent arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks to be perfect for Manchester United.

    Their history is littered with temperamental big-name players; George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo to name but three.

    The big question is whether Zlatan, at 34, can adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League.

    Delve into the past of this contradictory forward and it seems he is at his best when questions are at their fiercest.

    But, as every stockbroker will tell you, past performance is no guarantee of what will happen in the future.

    Poland have midfielder Bartosz Kapustka available again after he missed the last-16 meeting with Switzerland through suspension, but goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is again unlikely to feature because of a thigh injury.

    Portugal will assess midfielders Raphael Guerreiro and Andre Gomes, who are nursing minor muscle problems.

    I think most people will be thinking "if Cristiano Ronaldo is on form, Portugal will win".

    But I have been to two Poland games and have been very impressed. Their star striker and captain Robert Lewandowski is yet to score but he runs the channels, drops deep, is a target man and a link man - he does absolutely everything.

    They do not just rely on him, though, unlike Portugal who need one player - Ronaldo - to be at the top of his game to have a chance.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0 to Poland
