It didn't come in spectacular fashion - as so many of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's memorable moments do - but the goals all count just the same.
The big Swede scored the first hat-trick of his Manchester United career Thursday, netting three times as the Red Devils topped Saint-Etienne 3-0 in the opening leg of their Europa League last-32 clash.
