Having scored in the Community Shield win over Leicester City and United’s Premier League weekend victory at Bournemouth, Ibrahimovic went into the match in fine form. The team is a really great team and they all work and deserve to play and in this moment I have to make decisions and there’s only one match a week.

“First ball, I lost it, but got used to it”.
The midfielder also has a good relationship with the players, especially Ibrahimovic and after the game, it was clear to see as there was a joke between the two players that Pogba should have passed when he went for goal just before the end of the game.
He said: “We were always in control. So I need September – [Timothy] Fosu-Mensah, [Marcos] Rojo, Carrick, [Morgan] Schneiderlin, Memphis, [Marcus] Rashford, we have a big top-quality squad”. It’s a natural evolution of things. “He has played will with Michael Carrick, he has played well with Ander Herrera, he has played well with Paul [Pogba]”.
Matilde gave her Twitter followers an insight behind-the-scenes as she celebrated with her father after the game, and the pair will be hoping for many more happy moments in the season ahead as United look to compete for silverware this season.
The 34-year-old, signed on a free transfer after leaving Paris St-Germain at the end of last season, marked his home debut with a confident display that brought warm appreciation from the home supporters. Yes, I’ve scored three goals so far in the Premier League and I’m happy for that, but it is only the beginning. I tried to do what I’m best at, create chances and help my team-mates and scoring goals. We’re becoming better and better, it was the first game at home and we won it.
“Who scores is less important as long as we are winning”.
When questioned on what they had improved on, he explained: “Everything”. Off the pitch and on the pitch are both new.

“We dream big. United are a big club. Paul Pogba also needs to get to know the players and I need to get to know everybody and the way we play, the simple things on and off the pitch”. “Everything is new, it’s like a big puzzle and we need to put the puzzle together and then we work through everything”.
