These were the best jokes as much-vaunted, under-pressure summer signings Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimović both managed to score in Manchester United’s 3-1 win at Swansea City on Sunday.
After just fifteen minutes of the game at the Liberty Stadium, relieved supporters of José Mourinho’s stuttering side were treated to a long-range stunner from the £89m Pogba whose perceived under performance has been one of the main talking points of the season so far.
His Swedish team-mate, who hadn’t scored in the previous three games, then went on to net twice, putting the game to bed before half time.
Fans were initially sceptical of the starting line-up:
Calling all ManUtd fans
Listen attentively
If you want to watch some entertainment
Go watch Liverpool play

But it all turned out fine in the end.
Here are the best of the jokes as both Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimović score to help Manchester United return to form with a 3-1 win over Bob Bradley’s Swansea:
I don't mean to alarm anyone, but Paul Pogba has actually done something. 1-0 Man Utd.

That goal from Paul Pogba was worth £89m. Done. No more comparisons.

Normal haircut for Pogba. Great goal. Can't wait for him to shave "Pick that one out you poverty wanker" into his head at half time.
