The 34-year-old, who joined after leaving Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer, scored on his United debut as Jose Mourinho's team eventually beat Galatsaray 5-2 in Sweden.

Ibrahimovic opened the scoring just three minutes into his debut with a memorable overhead kick - and after trailing 2-1, Mourinho's men fought back to win 5-2 as the new Premier League season creeps up.

Ibrahimovic, who played 45 minutes in Gothenburg, celebrated the goal and the win by going on a fishing trip.

The striker owns his own lake in Sweden specifically to fish.

On his Instragram page he posted a picture holding a pike, stating that he had caught a new personal best - although he didn't reveal the weight of the fish.

Ibrahimovic, who is ready to welcome Paul Pogba to Old Trafford, has two more matches to get match fit for the new season.

United will play Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial on Wednesday before the Community Shield clash with Leicester City at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Mourinho's side kick off the new season away at Bournemouth on Sunday, 14 August.
