Zlatan Ibrahimovic say Man United winning is more important than personal glory
Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists the
team winning is more important than personal glory after Manchester
United's 3-1 victory at Bournemouth on Sunday.
The Swedish striker got his Premier League career off to a winning start, capping an impressive debut with a
Juan
Mata and Wayne Rooney scored United's other goals, and Ibrahimovic said
it did not matter who found the back of the net as long as Manchester
United win.
"The first objective is to win, the second, if I can score and help my team like that, it's also good," he told
"But
whoever scores helps the team. If it's me, Wayne or somebody else it's
the same importance if I score. For me, the victory is the most
important, whoever scores is a bonus.
"It was a difficult game.
First half we weren't 100 per cent but second half it became easier,
[there was] more space and we could play our game, then we scored the
second and third one. It was a good game, a good start. It's important
to start [well]."
Ibrahimovic
has now scored in both his appearances for Manchester United, having
headed the winner against Leicester in the Community Shield last week,
but says he is still getting used to life in England.
"It's not
easy. Everything is new for me, the team-mates, club, environment, the
new stadiums but slowly I get settled in," he said. "I just play my
game, make the team win and we continue like that."
