The 22-year-old was considered a flop last season after making the move from PSV Eindhoven, and reports have been rife suggesting he will move on before the deadline. And that United debut goal was big, because that means he has scored on his Premier League debut, his Ligue 1 debut with PSG, his La Liga debut with Barcelona and his Serie A debut with Juventus. It is essential for the success of United that Mourinho builds a team around these attacking players, and not on already existing Manchester legends.
“I can do a lot for the young players”, Ibrahimovic told Sky Sports. Midfielder Junior Stanislas grabbed a goal against United last time the two sides met, but will be missing Sunday’s game through injury. It is probably best that he does not play because he is not used to his new team-mates. I am sure that he can play all these games, he is very proficient. “But it’s the same importance whoever scores”.
And the England worldwide believes that United’s win was a statement of intent and that exciting times lie ahead for fans of the Old Trafford club.
“For £89m, Pogba will be expected to win big games”.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan assisted the most goals (15) & created the third highest amount of chances (83) in the German Bundesliga last season.
Manchester United started a new era under Jose Mourinho on Sunday which has made all the supporters excited for a return to the top of the pile come May.
“I think we have improved but I think everybody else will have at the same time so the challenge is going to be tougher – and we need to make sure we respond”.

“I think sometimes it does take a result like that to stimulate the players, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for that feeling this season”.
