It had to happen.

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. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/762330076004376576 Cue Twitter bedlam as Manchester United fans fell over themselves to hail the arrival of a new king. https://twitter.com/__mxrz/status/762330640792559616 https://twitter.com/_lankz/status/762330563239878656 https://twitter.com/pumkin_tulip/status/762330535129649152 https://twitter.com/CommonRoom/status/762330467538436096 https://twitter.com/dhebylicious/status/762330273593917440 https://twitter.com/PatricTweetedU/status/762330236616708096 https://twitter.com/Choy_Mein/status/762330227297124352

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...

We suspect not for the last time this season. thumbnail_SNAPCHATUK
