Zlatan debuts, impresses. United dominate Galatasaray

Manchester United ended their pre season on a high, after they beat Galatasaray 5-2, despite trailing 1-2 at half time.
Zlatan made his unofficial debut with the club, and scored an audacious overhead kick just four minutes after kick off, displaying the class other Premier League clubs will have to face.
Eighteen minutes later, Galatasaray drew level through Sinan Gumus, who headed the ball past David De Gea after a well threaded cross from Wesley Sneijder and some dreadful marking from Zlatan.
The Turkish side marched ahead in the 40th minute, when the impressive Bruma curled the ball around De Gea, into the right corner.
In the second half, it rained magnificent goals from the Reds, who were wearing white in the match. Valencia, who was the provider of Zlatan's goal, crossed again to find Wayne Rooney, who opened his pre season goal account. Three minutes later, Rooney again scored from the penalty spot to make the score 3-2, after Marcus Rashford was brought down after a glorious run.
A fourth goal followed soon when Fellaini hit a well placed header over Muslera's head, and the provider of the cross was Valencia yet again, who acquired his third assist of the match.
Juan Mata ended the rampage by scoring United's fifth and last goal, after spinning through the defenders, passing it to Michael Carrick, who struck a low cross which was slided in the goal by Mata.
The score line displayed a complete Manchester United domination and Zlatan showed what he was worth, but the defence still remains a concern for Jose Mourinho as United kick off their season with a match for the FA Community Shield against Leicester City.
