Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored both goals – the first a towering header before a second-half penalty – and United are 11-4 with bet365 to win the league, while Manchester City out to 9-4 with a number of bookmakers. Since the 23-year-old Frenchman moved from United to Italy in 2012, he has become recognized as one of the world’s great midfielders.
United might lose one or two matches away from home en route to winning the premier league title but at Old Trafford, no team will have easy ride beating them thier. “I’m desperate for September for more games then they get what they deserve, which is to play”. “We’re really happy with how we played, especially in the second half”, he told MUTV.
Mourinho said: “He is very good in the air but he is very good with his feet”.
Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have only been teammates for Manchester United for a couple of weeks, but the two superstar summer signings have already struck up an endearing bromance.
“There is a possibility that he may travel with us to Old Trafford”.
Paul Pogba addressed what it was like to make his full Man United debut upon returning to Old Trafford. These are exciting times at United after three lean years since Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
The Swedish striker doubled his and his side’s tally seven minutes after the break as he drilled a penalty into the bottom corner after Luke Shaw was brought down by substitute Jordy Clasie. 8 successful take ons and 5 interceptions are just some of the highlights statistically, this is his first game…exciting times ahead for Paul Pogba.

The opening goal owed as much to Rooney’s excellent cross as Ibrahimovic’s bullet header. The French player, who was transferred from Juventus for a record-breaking $118 million dollars and he’s set to make his triumphant return to Man U. However, manager Jose Mourinho, 53, has warned fans not to get too excited. He did, however, admit that “here [England], the game is tougher [than in France] and you need to work through the game”, because “you don’t get a lot of chances like I did in France”, and so “when the possibility comes you need to be focused”.
