		</div><p>Zlatan Ibrahimovic&#8217;s maiden Manchester United hat-trick put St Etienne to the sword as Jose Mourinho&#8217;s men took control of this Europa League last-32 tie.</p>
<p>The build-up to the Old Trafford encounter was dominated by Paul Pogba&#8217;s clash with his brother Florentin Pogba, but the post-match chatter will surround United&#8217;s elder statesman.</p>
<p>Ibrahimovic has made a mockery of the doubters since his summer arrival and the 35-year-old took his tally for the season to 23 with a treble as United eventually saw off the threat of St Etienne 3-0.</p>
<p>The French side had flustered United in the early stages of this first leg but the hosts went ahead through a fortuitous Ibrahimovic free-kick &#8211; both in terms of its award and the way it deflected home off Vincent Pajot.</p>
<p>Paul Pogba, with his family watching from the stands, performed impressively as United improved after the break and hit the bar with a close-range header.</p>
<p>But this was to be Ibrahimovic&#8217;s night as he turned home at the far post and then fired home a late penalty to take his tally against St Etienne to 17 goals in 14 matches.</p>
