Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his first hat-trick for Manchester United, as they defeated St Etienne 3-0, in the first leg of their round of 32 Europa League tie.
Most of the build up to the game at Old Trafford, was about the Pogba brothers facing each other for the first time in their careers.
But it was the Swede who hugged the headlines at the end of the game.
Ibrahimovic opened scoring in the first half, with a heavily deflected free-kick. The Ligue 1 side failed to convert their chances before the break.
After the interval, Ibrahimovic scored two more times, to establish a healthy lead ahead of the second leg in France.
It was his 17th career hat-trick and second in European club competitions.
