Zlatan Ibrahimovic overshadowed Pogba by scoring both goals in the 2-0 win at Old Trafford, but the France worldwide put in an outstanding performance in the centre of the park on his debut after a world record £89.3 million move from Juventus.

Ibrahimovic opened the scoring by heading in a Wayne Rooney cross and after the break he made sure of the points by converting a penalty after Luke Shaw was tripped.
If one remembers he said the same thing about Paul Pogba while the Frenchman was being linked with a move to United and while it may be genuine, one can not just rule out the possibility of one or two more signings.
Pogba’s return to Old Trafford, four years after he left for Juventus without having made a Premier League start, has been eagerly awaited by United fans this summer.
The France global established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe with the Serie A winners, where he won the league for four years in a row. “I feel very good fitness-wise”.
“There is an evolution in things and we have to go in relation to that”.
The Belgian global has started both Premier League games so far this season, and has seemingly been given a new lease of life under Jose Mourinho. Outside the pitch, inside the pitch is also new.
“He likes him a lot, and thinks that he is a very good player and useful to the team and the squad”.
“I played with many big stars”, he said. The main thing though for Pogba is that the team wins as this is the “most important thing”. I was relaxed, didn’t have nerves and played my game.
“We need to get used to winning because the mental part is also important”. “I don’t know. I have changed clubs many times, so I don’t know the specifics”. We have to build a certain organisation around him. “Everything is new, it’s like a big puzzle and we need to put the puzzle together and then we work through everything”. “Even afterwards we still caused some problems, but at the moment it’s hard to look at any positives from the performance”.

“I’m desperate for September to arrive for the Capital One Cup and the Europa League and then they will get what they all deserve which is to play”.
