Bournemouth vs. Manchester United: Score and Reaction from 2016 EPL Match

Jose Mourinho's Premier League debut for Manchester United couldn't have gone much better.

Behind goals from Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, United opened their 2016-17 Premier League campaign with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday. Adam Smith scored the lone goal for Bournemouth.

The win had Mourinho's stamp all over it, per football pundit and former player Gary Lineker:

Manchester United, already a very Mourinho looking side. Organised, patient, players knowing their jobs, effective....and winning.
