Manchester United saw off Europa League round of 32 opponents St. Etienne at Old Trafford today, with Pa Zlatan 'Ekwueme' Ibrahimovic stealing all the headlines with a hattrick to sum the score up at 3-0.
Here are five things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash;
1. When someone does something that is excellent and worthy of praise, and you need a word to describe him/her, just say he/she is ZLATANSTIC!!! Zlatan 'Ekwueme' Ibrahimovic, the talk-na-do of Old trafford did it again with his 1st hatrick for United.
2. Whenever Fellaini starts, it feels like Jonah has entered the boat. Whenever he is subbed off, it also feels like Jonah
has been thrown off. The question is "Who will be the BIG fish to help us swallow this Jonah of ours"? #Chelsea , #Arsenal, #Liverpool? In fact , any fish can come!!!
3. Enough is enough!!! What is it with Pogba and Crossbars?? Record 10th crossbar of the season . He had a good game and was unlucky not to be on the score sheet.
4. ERIC 'NO NONSENCE' BAILY . His style of rugged and dogged defending is a delight to watch. He however made some sloppy passes today. Thankfully , we were not punished.
5. Mou's sub-offs were on point: Oga Fela was a 'Jonah', Mata got tired and wasn't influencing the game much, and Martial needed to come off for a more defensive winger - Young.
.....In the end, it was a ZLATANSTIC win for United. With the return leg coming just 3 days before the EFL cup final, United can afford to field team B away. Speedy recovery for Mikhitaryan. Glory Glory Man United .
