Twitter explodes as Zlatan scores incredible bicycle goal 4 minutes into his Manchester United debut

Manchester United have made some of the best pieces of business in the transfer window this summer.

After acquiring Jose Mourinho, the club managed to lure the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to the club while are also close to landing a world record transfer in French starlet Paul Pogba.

And it is clear that the manager wants only the best for his team and will be happy with the first outing of one of his many star players in the squad.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the new number 9 at Manchester United announced himself in grand fashion on Saturday.

In a friendly game against Galatasaray, the Swedish international was handed his debut by Jose Mourinho and it took the 35-year old the whole of 4 minutes to show the kind of an effect he will have on the Premier League next season.

Just 3 minutes into the game, the Red Devils managed to find some space down the right and a decent cross was put into the box searching for a team-mate.

Zlatan, who was on the wrong side of the defender, pulled out a scissor kick to convert the cross on the volley to put in past the outstretched goalkeeper. Though he did not connect it properly, he placed it well enough to earn himself his first ever goal as Premier League player.

Here is the goal:

There could have hardly been a better way for Zlatan to announce himself to his new club than scoring a Zlatan-esque goal just a few minutes into his debut.

The Swede gave United the lead in a game they managed to run riot scoring 5 goals in the victory.

They conceded twice, something that will frustrate Mourinho but the manager will be more than happy with the returns from his new summer signing.

It did not take long for the fans to take it to Twitter to boast about their club’s new signings and we have bought you a collection of some of the best tweets:
