Zlatan Ibrahimovic keeps promise and delivers

Leicester 1 Manchester United 2: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who promised Manchester United fans he hadn’t come to England to lose time to but to win trophies, delivered on that promise at Wembley with the winning goal in the Community Shield against Leicester City.

The Swede, signed from Paris St Germain at the age of 34, headed home in the 83rd minute to give Jose Mourinho his first silverware at United in his very first game with a 2-1 victory over the league champions.

It was the perfect end to a day for United which began with news Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is ready to undergo a medical at Old Trafford and then got even better as Jesse Lingard scored a spectacular opener at Wembley. Leicester, who created a string of good chances and showed they still have the potential to be a force, replied through Jamie Vardy but could do nothing to prevent Ibrahimovic stealing the headlines with a textbook header from a late Antonio Valencia cross.
