Twitter Explodes as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first Manchester United hattrick guides them to 3-0 win over St. Etienne

Manchester United registered a comprehensive win, one that well deserved after that brilliant second half performance – after Lingard came on for Fellaini.

And although Saint-Etienne made a fist of it, their old foe Zlatan Ibrahimovic had one of those nights where everything he touched turned to 'goal' (pardon the pun)

Seriously... doubt Zlatan?

23 goals for the season for Zlatan now. Incredible numbers for a 35 year old. Can't believe people were doubting his signing on a free!!

Some people, though, just can’t get around to seeing common sense

Was that the most ugliest hatrick even seen! Never rated Ibrahimovic. Still don't.

The Pogba brothers tonight. What a duel. The most scintillating performance from a pair of siblings since the Pickard’s lit up Hollyoaks. pic.twitter.com/ZeyEs6CcYn

An absolute sitter from Paul Pogba. His mum immediately turns to his other brother in the crowd and says, "you're my favourite."Harsh.

Jesse Lingard is on for United. Florentin Pogba spots him and thinks: "That's the bellwhiff that's always hanging round with our Paul."

All in all, it was a good night for Jose Mourinho and his men

The only mystery is why did Mourinho play Fellaini at all

Marouane Fellaini has the footballing IQ of a giraffe.

That’s there –

The Lingard for Fellaini sub changed the game, criticise Mourinho for the selection but hes very quick to react when something not working
