Manchester United have cruised past French side Saint-Etienne 3-nil at Old Trafford in the first leg of their last-32 tie in the Europa League, thanks to a hat-trick from Zlatan Ibrahimovich.

15 minutes from time and against the run of play, Ibrahimovich capitalized on a deflected free-kick to turn things around for his side.

In the second half however, United were in control and extended their lead in the 75th minute when Zlatan tapped home from close range before being on target again and netting his first United hat-trick with a late penalty.
