The Swedish ace led the way for Mourinho's men, especially during a second half in which the Red Devils showed better teamwork.

Yes, and some believed Ibrahimovic wouldn't live up to expectations.

The Swedish striker proved to be instrumental for Manchester United once again, as he led the team to a 3-0 win against Saint-Etienne. While most eyes were set on Paul Pogba and his brother, "Ibra" took center-stage and scored his first-ever hat-trick with the Red Devils.

At 35 years of age, some fans and experts believed that the tall Swede wasn't going to have the same impact as he did with PSG. Well, these stats will erase any doubts.

If that isn't enough to prove his worth, these numbers will show how Zlatan feels while playing at home.

Next week, the Red Devils will travel to France to play the second leg of the Round of 32 tie against Saint Etienne. Let's wait and see how Ibrahimovic does when returning to France, after terrorizing defenders there for the past four years.
