Manchester United are like a “puzzle” that will come together in time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic said after scoring twice in a 2-0 win against Southampton at Old Trafford on Friday. We are becoming better and better. I’m happy for the team and three goals is good.

‘The team is improving, the team is playing differently.
It seems to have worked and it now a new deal could be on the cards around Christmas time, if the Belgian maintains his fine form. “He was one of our best players along with Zlatan, who obviously got the two goals for us tonight”.
Mourinho isn’t ready to heap pressure on himself by making outlandish boasts about winning the league, particularly given the competition around.
Giggs added: “Leicester did it a year ago and won the league”.
His bullet header and confident penalty against The Saints showed United fans what he can bring to the party.
“I always tried to be nice and have a relationship with the fans at United”. I have this vision, ‘ he said.
“I need September to come, because the relations can be good, the players can be great professionals, but a player is a player and when he doesn’t play one game, two, three, the frustration comes and it’s hard to train well”.
Now topping the league with 6 points, United have proven to pessimists that splashing the cash on super talented or age defiling players can win you big titles.
“He can score shooting from long distance”.
“But we need to be fighting for titles and I think they’ve got a good chance this year”.
“Ibrahimovic, the way I know him, will be a really good person to help him to find the way and perform the way he can”. I arrived in the dressing room after the match and I was happy, and I became sad.
Ryan Giggs has appeared to criticise Jose Mourinho’s style after leaving Manchester United earlier this summer.
Ibrahimovic, who has graced the biggest stages like the Nou Camp and San Siro, was suitably impressed.
“I was relaxed, no nerves, I played my game”. For 10 days work, first match of the season, not even 10 minutes of a friendly, I think he played phenomenal..
This was the first of a string of regular Friday night games in the Premier League, a new addition to the schedule this season. So we’re happy for the three points and for the first game for Paul [Pogba].
Only Zlatan Ibrahimovic could upstage the world’s most expensive player.
Mourinho named Rooney, Ibrahimovic and £89m record signing Paul Pogba as his three preferred penalty takers and allowed them to determine their own pecking order.

“The fact his first action was bad – he loses the ball, gives a counter to the opponent – means you could see even more the ego, the personality.he’s so comfortable under that skin of a star”.
