Zlatan hat-trick helps Man United with win over St Etienne

Man United 3 - St Etienne 0: Manchester United’s claim to be the only English team still in with a chance of winning four trophies this season — a bit of a stretch when it comes to the Premier League of course — is still technically intact after Zlatan Ibrahimovic underlined their hunger for silverware with a first-leg Europa League hat-trick against St Etienne.

Ibrahimovic’s deflected first-half free-kick after 15 minutes, a confident finish following a Marcus Rashford run and cross with 15 minutes to go and then a late penalty, took his tally to 23 goals in 36 games this season.

“Every time I’ve played against them with luck, with good game there has been a couple of goals,” Ibrahimovic said
