Debut Man Utd goal makes it high five for Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked his Premier League debut for Manchester United with a goal on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Swedish superstar struck a perfectly placed effort across the outstretched hand of AFC bournemouth goalkeeper Artur Boruc in the 64th minute of United's 3-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium on the Premier League's opening weekend.

Ibrahimovic's maiden goal extended a long line of debut strikes for the veteran who also managed to find the back of the net in his Italian Serie A bow for Juventus, his Spanish La Liga debut for Barcelona, first French Ligue 1 outing for PSG and opening UEFA Champions League match for Ajax.

Add the Cherries goal to Ibrahimovic's brilliant finish in his first United pre-season outing against Galatasaray and his winner in the Community Shield against Leicester City and it has been a successful beginning to life at Old Trafford for the great man.
