Manchester United 5-2 Galatasaray: Ibrahimovic nets debut goal

Jul 30, 2016 3:50:22 PM

Manchester United overcame a shaky first-half display to down Galatasaray 5-2, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic led the way with an early goal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked his Manchester United debut in style by scoring a spectacular overhead kick in a 5-2 friendly victory over Galatasaray.

It took less than four minutes for the Swedish striker, playing on familiar territory at Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium, to open his account, acrobatically dispatching an Antonio Valencia cross from the right.

Wayne Rooney (two), Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata also found the net for United, but new boss Jose Mourinho will be disappointed with the defending for the goals from Sinan Gumus and Bruma that left his side trailing 2-1 at the break.
