Zlatan Ibrahimovic received a warm welcome to life at Los Angeles Galaxy as his new team-mates slapped the striker during his first training session.
The light-hearted ritual took place in the California sunshine on Friday as Ibrahimovic linked up with the MLS club for the first time.
Ibrahimovic looked in good spirits as he smiled and joked around with the rest of the squad while performing a series of drills at the club's StubHub Center complex.
It's been a whirlwind week for Ibrahimovic after he was given a hero's welcome by Galaxy supporters upon touching down at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday evening.
Ibrahimovic signed for the Californians on a free transfer after Manchester United agreed to terminate his contract three months early.
He initially joined United on a one-year contract in the summer of 2016 and played a crucial role for Jose Mourinho's side by scoring 28 goals in his first season.
After suffering a serious knee injury in April 2017, Ibrahimovic was released at the end of the season only to undergo a remarkable rehabilitation and earn a new deal.
However after struggling with fitness problems again this campaign, United allowed the veteran to move on and he opted to join Galaxy despite interest from other clubs.
Ibrahimovic was earning a £19million-a-year at Old Trafford, but has signed up to play for the Galaxy in MLS on a pay packet of just £850,000-per-annum or £16,000-per-week.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, Ibrahimovic will not be one of Galaxy's designated players which restricts them to a wage limit of £2.8m.
He could make his MLS debut in the first LA derby this Saturday against Los Angeles FC - the club partly owned by actor Will Ferrell and former USA coach Bob Bradley.
Ibrahimovic's career has seen him represent the likes of Ajax, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Italy's 'big three'; Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
His former manager Mourinho delivered a heartfelt tribute to Ibrahimovic at his press conference on Friday and referred to the Swede as a 'huge player'. '
'It's always sad when the big players go in the direction of the end,' Mourinho said. 'I remember, for example, (Luis) Figo's last match with me at Inter, and I always remember tha as one of my saddest moments because I always feel very sorry when the big ones finish or go to the last period of their careers.
'Zlatan's goodbye moment was more in that direction. He's a huge, big player that top football, European football, is losing now and forever because he will not be back to this level of football.'
