Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores against Saint-Etienne.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: I am like Indiana Jones

The Red Devils forward felt like the movie character after scoring a Europa League hat-trick against Saint-Etienne.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC LIKENED himself to movie character Indiana Jones in the wake of Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Saint-Etienne at Old Trafford.

The prolific attacker netted a hat-trick to lead his side to victory in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie, scoring once in the opening 45 minutes before adding two more after the break.

Thursday’s victory keeps United on track for continental glory, with Jose Mourinho’s men still in the race for the EFL Cup and FA Cup as well.

Ibrahimovic started his United career by winning the Community Shield and is hopeful of adding more silverware in the remainder of the season.

“Every trophy for me is incredible, everywhere I came I won so if I can win something here I will be super happy,” Ibrahimovic said.

“People that know me know that I play in many clubs and I try to do my best.

Wherever I went, I won. I am like Indiana Jones.”

The 35-year-old has won numerous domestic titles throughout his career, but he has had little luck on the European stage, the UEFA Super Cup with Barcelona in 2009 his only continental trophy.

    It’d be nice to see the home team do well but considering I follow the Premier League Id like to see England win. (I’m well aware that apparently Irish ppl aren’t meant to want England win; I’d like to think we can be mature enough to get past all that though)
    Would like to see Gerrard & Rooney play to their potential and see some good goals. The three goals England got last Friday were cracking. 

    I should add that my maturity doesn’t extend to France; I’d like them to get hammered!!

    Does anyone know if the Italian goal last night was the first in history to be awarded after consultation with a fifth official? After all our campaigning for an extra official behind the goal since Henry’s handball, what a bitter irony. Not that it mattered much, but insult to injury and all that.
