Manchester United 2 Southampton 0: Ibrahimovic hits brace on Pogba debut

Paul Pogba's second Manchester United debut ended in a 2-0 victory over Southampton at Old Trafford with Zlatan Ibrahimovic hitting a brace.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his fine goalscoring start to his Manchester United career with a brace in a 2-0 Premier League win over Southampton at Old Trafford on Friday.

Paul Pogba - who played the full 90 minutes - also impressed on his second debut for the club after completing his world record transfer move from Juventus and missing Sunday's 3-1 win at Bournemouth through suspension.

Ibrahimovic put United into the lead after 36 minutes, the striker rising highest in the penalty area to thump in a header from Wayne Rooney's precise right wing cross.
