The tides seem to be changing at Old Trafford, with Jose Mourinho taking over after three poor seasons under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal. Mourinho made a huge splash in the market, bringing in Zlatan and Pogba, as well as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly.


The Red Devils have won all of their three games in the Premier League so far, with Ibrahimovic contributing heavily by scoring three goals. The Swede also scored the winner in United's Community Shield clash against champions Leicester City.


Pogba, another huge signing, is finding his feet at his old club, having left them for Juventus four years ago. His presence is a welcome one at Old Trafford, but the Frenchman seems quite happy to have Zlatan around.

"Zlatan is like the big brother for everyone, he's always making jokes, he makes everyone relaxed and on the pitch he's a winner so he really helps the team," Pogba said.


Everyone at United has the same ambition at the moment, with the club looking to return to the top of the pile in the top flight, and the Champions League also.


"We want to go back to the Champions League because that's where we belong," Pogba added.


Pogba and Zlatan will face their biggest challenge of the season when United welcome rivals Manchester City to Old Trafford following the international break. It will be interesting to see how this one pans out.
