Bournemouth 1-3 Manchester United: Rooney & Ibrahimovic score in comfortable win

Jose Mourinho got off to the perfect start as the Red Devils boss as his side picked up three points in his first Premier League game in charge

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored on his Premier League debut as Jose Mourinho's Manchester United beat Bournemouth 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

The former Sweden captain, who netted the winner on his first competitive outing in the Community Shield, drilled in a superb low shot from distance to add to goals from Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney.

United, who also handed a first Premier League start to Eric Bailly, had found it difficult to gain control on a ground where they suffered a 2-1 defeat last season before surprise starter Mata pounced on an error from Simon Francis.
