Manchester United have picked up their first Europa League win of the campaign but it was by the narrowest margin.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the only goal at Old Trafford to earn a 1-0 success over Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk.

Wayne Rooney had an inadvertent assist for Ibrahimovic's goal as his mis-hit shot looped perfectly for the Swede to put the finishing touch.

The win pushes United up to three points from two games, having lost their opener to Feyenoord.

However, it's Fenerbahce who top that group by a point after defeating Feyenoord 1-0 in Turkey.

Earlier Southampton drew 0-0 in Israel against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Following on from a 3-0 victory over Sparta Prague in their group opener two weeks ago, the point puts the Saints joint-top of Group K with today's opponents.
