Another Landmark Goal For Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's superb 25-yard strike in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth not only helped Manchester United to a season-opening victory, it also added yet another impressive achievement to his CV.

The Swede's 69th-minute strike was his first in the Premier League and ensured he has now scored on his Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Champions League bows.

The man himself was delighted to find the net when he spoke to Sky Sports after the match, but he insisted the most important aspect of the day was the victory for the team.

"I try to do my job and help my team-mates," he declared. "The first objective is to win. The second, if I can score in a game like that, is also good, but whoever scores helps the team.

"If it’s me, Wayne [Rooney] or someone else, it’s the same importance like if I would score. For me the victory is the most important. Whoever scores is a bonus."

Asked how is finding life in the English game, the Swede added: "It’s not easy. Everything is new for me – my team-mates, the club, the environment, new stadiums but slowly I get settled in, play my game and help the team win. We want to continue like that.

"The team did good. It was a difficult game. In the first half we weren’t at 100 per cent, but in the second half it became easier, there was more space and we could play our game more. It was a good game, a good start and important to start with a win."
