The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star duly obliged and fiercely struck the ball into the bottom left corner from roughly 25 yards out.

Having spent almost $200 million on new players and brought in former Chelsea manager Mourinho to replace Louis van Gaal, United will be expected to challenge for honors this season.

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe seems to have a settled playing eleven for his Bournemouth side, but his team will go into the game as clear underdogs.

United started slowly and did not register a shot on target until a Rooney effort produced a comfortable save from Artur Boruc in the 27th minute.

Bournemouth defender Simon Francis was doing his absolute best to get an assist…

Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who played for the last quarter of an hour at Bournemouth, is another contender for a midfield place, having also been added to a squad that Mourinho said had been “sad” when he first encountered them.

Francis plays an very bad backpass to his own keeper2.

Marouane Fellaini is also in the United starting line-up amid reports he is wanted by Turkish club Galatasaray.

Antonio Valencia broke down the right side and sent over a cross for Martial, who hopelessly miscued his volley.
