Zlatan Ibrahimovic wins Community Shield with his 1st Manchester United goal

He might be good.

Manchester United have been having trouble getting big stars to sign up for the last couple of seasons, but they convinced Zlatan Ibrahimovic to join this summer. And in his first competitive match for the Red Devils, he scored the game-winner, punching in this 83th-minute goal in the Community Shield against Leicester City.

Ibrahimovic struggled in the first half, failing to establish a connection with Wayne Rooney, but he was much better in the second half and came up big when it mattered. United has been lacking someone to score big goals like this, and Zlatan’s off to a great start.
