Record signing Paul Pogba had earlier scored in the 15th minute. The Swede added a third (33rd minute) while Mike van der Hoorn replied for Swansea (69th) as Jose Mourinho's side returned to winning ways with a 3-1 win at the Liberty Stadium. Ibrahimovic's first strike was also the Premier League's 25,000th goal.
