Jose Mourinho started his standard as Manchester United chief with a trophy as Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a late header to beat Leicester in the FA Community Shield at Wembley.
Jesse Lingard, who scored the last goal of the Louis van Gaal time with the victor in the FA Cup last against Crystal Palace, put United ahead before half-time when he ran 40 yards and beat four men to opening home.
Premier League champion Leicester tended to when Marouane Fellaini’s odious back-pass let Jamie Vardy into round David de Gea and score.
All things considered, summer signing Ibrahimovic, 34, routinely had the last word with seven minutes to go, moving to meet Antonio Valencia’s cross and beat Kasper Schmeichel by strategy for the post.
The straight to the point Swede had conveyed in advance that the shield would be the essential trophy he would bring home as a United player, along these lines it showed for the veteran striker.
Leicester had acquired Mourinho’s second spell charge of Chelsea to an end with a 2-1 rout at King Power Stadium in December on their way to the title yet this was a significantly more satisfied event for the Portuguese.
