Watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first ever goal for Manchester United
Manchester United sought out Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his goalscoring magic. They haven't had a striker who could create a goal from nothing or score from anywhere since Wayne Rooney was, well, Wayne Rooney.
In Zlatan's first game for the Red Devils, he showed them exactly what they were getting.
Sometimes you don't have to hit the ball as hard as you can. If you have traffic and can put the ball exactly in the bottom corner, that will do. The problem is so few players have the awareness and accuracy to spot the traffic, find a gap in it and hit the ball right into the corner. Zlatan just happens to be one of them.
Manchester United cruised to a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, as expected, and Zlatan was every bit as good as advertised. The Red Devils have their game-changing goalscorer now and the rest of the league is on notice.
