As well as being a prolific goalscorer, new Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is known for his knack of scoring aesthetically pleasing goals.
The Swede proved that ability again on his United debut on Saturday, as he struck an overhead kick against Galatasaray in a pre-season friendly in Gothenburg.
Collecting a cross from the right wing from Antonio Valencia, Ibrahimovic swiveled with trademark flexibility to send his scissor kick into the far corner within four minutes of the start of the game at Ullevi Stadium.
United went on to win the game 5-2 thanks to two goals from Wayne Rooney and one each from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini.
