Meanwhile, after the game, United manager Jose Mourinho insisted he would not be using any players in pre-season that won’t figure in his Premier League plans.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck on debut for Manchester United in their 5-2 rout of Galatasaray.
A world record deal to take Pogba back to the club he left in 2012 is expected to be completed in the coming days, and former Manchester United treble victor Yorke thinks signing the Juventus midfielder will allow Jose Mourinho to get the best out of Rooney.
He had hardly broken sweat when, after just 190 seconds, Antonio Valencia – who was to grab three assists in all – swung over a deep cross and Ibrahimovic launched a right boot at it.
“Hey Zlatan, it’s Usain Bolt, I just wanted to say welcome to the greatest team you’ve ever been in, Manchester United”, Bolt said in a video posted by CNN to Twitter.
“With Zlatan you may see someone with a big ego, big self-esteem, but it is in a positive way”, Mourinho told MUTV.
Manchester United enjoyed a hugely satisfying win over Galatasaray as their pre-season preparations under Jose Mourinho continue.
“When he is with the group, he is humble and friendly to everyone – integration is good”.
“We can definitely all learn from him while he is here, so we all need to take that chance”, Rashford told United’s official website.
After the England player won the penalty, Ibrahimovic got to his feet to applaud Rashford, before exchanging a look with Ander Herrera that clearly hinted that he was pleasantly surprised at his strike partner’s ability.
“I’m looking forward to the first game”.
The 30-year-old captain also said he can not wait to be a part of the new season. The Portuguese, 53, was confident that his new recruits would not take long to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League as they did not have any language barriers with their team mates.

The Swedish striker went on to explain that he thinks “the fans are waiting for me to come back” and Ibrahimovic is determined to show them what he can do in a United shirt.
