It was written in the stars.
It is Zlatan.
The Swedish superstar was signed for goals - and he's delivered on his very first outing for the Manchester United.
Perhaps the only man on the staff at Old Trafford to have a bigger ego than boss Jose Mourinho, Ibrahimovic sill surely have been expecting to net on his first time out for the club at Wembley, and he didn't disappoint.
In an otherwise quiet game for the former PSG striker, he rose higher than anyone else in the box to head home the winner for United on the day as it finished 2-1.

There was more than a hint of offside about the goal, but presumably that rule simply doesn't apply to Himself?
And he did all that even after being spotted lazing about in the stands before kick off...

Jesse Lingard had given United the lead with a stunning solo goal (and very dodgy celebration):

Before Jamie Vardy equalised after pouncing on a mistake by Marouane Fellaini:

But it was Zlatan that had the last word. We suspect not for the last time this season.
