Zlatan,missing in action since a very long time,returned suddenly to the United side much to the delight of the Zlatan faithful.He was subbed on when there were 13 minutes or so left and almost immediately scored off a trademark scissor kick.Unfortunately it didn’t quite come off.His remarkable recovery from knee injury is being hailed as a medical miracle of sorts.The mighty Z,with trademark humility,compared himself to a lion.Apparently lions recover very quickly from knee injuries – sustained while playing football.
United also celebrated the return of Pogba to the side.
Newcastle flattered to deceive by scoring the first goal of the game – but surrendered pretty tamely afterwards – going down 4 -1 eventually.
