Zlatan Ibrahimovic picked up his 31st trophy in Manchester United's Community Shield win

Serial trophy-hunter Zlatan Ibrahimovic was Manchester United’s match-winner as they kicked off the Jose Mourinho era with a 2-1 win against Leicester in the Community Shield.

The Swede, who has won league titles in 14 of 16 seasons as a professional, rose above Wes Morgan in the 83rd minute at Wembley to head home and claim the 31st trophy of his career.

Ibrahimovic, a summer free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, said: ‘It feels good. First official game, we play for the trophy and we win. That’s what it’s all about, winning trophies.
