Jesse Lingard followed up his memorable FA Cup final winner with a tremendous solo effort to put United ahead, only for a defensive error from Marouane Fellaini to allow Jamie Vardy to equalise. The winner arrived seven minutes from full-time as Ibrahimovic rose to nod in.
Fellow debutant Eric Bailly impressed but was tested inside five minutes as Vardy skipped past him before Daley Blind's challenge put the ball behind for a corner. United's Lingard got the opener in the 32nd minute, after which Vardy equalised in the 52nd minute and Ibrahimovic got the winner in the 83rd minute.
