Dream Man United debuts for Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Bournemouth 1 Man United 3

The victory was satisfying enough for the new manager, even if this was a victory achieved against a side who looked a shadow of the vibrant team that enjoyed its first season in the top-flight last year, and there was no shortage of other positives for Mourinho to focus on.

Most notable was the performance of two of his four high-profile signings with Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his remarkable record of scoring on his league debut — the striker has now scored on his first appearance in La Liga, Serie A, La Ligue, the Champions League and the Premier League — and Eric Bailly looked impressively solid at the heart of the back four.
