Manchester United came from behind to defeat the Toons with three goals to one at Old Trafford, after conceding their first goal this season at Old Trafford early in the game.

It wasn't really the win that shook the game, what actually did was Zlatan Ibrahimovic And Paul Pogba's return.

He wasn't able to change the scoreline but was able to give the Old Trafford crowd another reason to be happy. the Swede told BT Sport : "It feels special. Different day, same quality, so I'm not worried at all because I know what I'm doing.

"I train hard, sacrificed a lot and it's my head that's playing - my knees just need to follow - so I'm not worried at all. Was I worried about returning? No. Lions don't recover like humans."

Paul Pogba also made his mark on return, netting one and assisting another after spending 12 weeks away due to injury. He was the catalyst behind United's comeback and was honored with the Man Of The Match.

Speaking after the game he said: "To come back, to see the fans again, to score at Old Trafford on my comeback, I feel blessed.
