Manchester United 2 Leicester City 1 Sri Lankan Social Media reaction

Zlatan Ibrahimovic grabbed a late debut goal to secure a 2-1 victory for Manchester United against Premier League champions Leicester in the Community Shield. Here’s how the Sri Lankan social media fans reacted during the match.

It was Jesse Lingard who started off the account for Man Utd

Jesse loves Wembley ! Jose loved it !

Some fans thought that goal was Messi-esque

Lionel Lingard! Take a bow ? ? ?

followed by a typical Messi tax joke

I hope he pays his taxes.

Some thought that goal should’ve been stopped if only…..

Kante would have never allowed lingard to go through that midfield and defense that easily

Then Jamie Vardy started his party.

Jamie fucking Vardy is back

Well some fans weren’t impressed with this guy’s performance

FFS Fellaini.. Sell him this instant Jose.. #mufc

Just another day at office for fellaini, doing what he does best

— Nishi (@nishika234) August 7, 2016

Then Ibrahimovic does what he does best and fans went crazy

IBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :3

Zlatan didn’t come here to waste his time. 2-1 !

Well there was a slight controversy among fans in the end about Jose substituting Mata

People losing their shit over Jose taking Mata off. We were defending then and Mata is not physically too strong. Plus he was injured.

— Amzer (@theMUFCfan) August 7, 2016

Come on José you're better than that. There are classier ways to tell a player that he's not wanted. I'd take Mata back in a heartbeat #CFC

and some opposition fans taking a dig at it

Mata’s final game for United. You’ll be missed.

A Zlatan winner and announcement about Pogba on the same day – this is PR heaven for the United hierarchy! #ManUnited
