    Man Utd 1-0 Galatasaray

    Every touch from Zlatan Ibrahimovic has this crowd in full voice. He only started training with the team on Wednesday so he won't be fully fit but he looked sharp enough to meet that cross with a hooked volley.

    Barcelona 2-1 Celtic

    Efe Ambrose is getting the treatment from his own fans now. A few boos can be heard whenever the Celtic centre-back has the ball at his feet. That'll do wonders for his confidence...

    Kev: All the focus on Zlatan but his signing will affect Rashford's development, shame Utd moving away from their values

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Well, that didn't take long! Jose Mourinho is on his feet, the crowd are on the feet as Manchester United's new number nine Zlatan Ibrahimovic meets an Antonio Valencia cross with a bicycle kick and it drops into the far corner.

    It wasn't the cleanest of connections but the bounce took it in. Great athleticism from the big man though...

    Efe Ambrose OG (31 mins)

    Oh dear. Again. Two minutes, two defensive howlers. Danny Baker could start a new 'Own Goals and Gaffes' series with these couple of howlers.

    Barca attack down the left, the ball is swung into the box, Efe Ambrose shanks a swing of his right boot into the top corner of his own net. No Barca was in the same post code as him.

    Leigh Griffiths (30 mins)

    Oh dear. Rookie Barca defender Jose Antonio Martinez might as well have wrapped this up and stuck a bow on it. An absolute gift. A heavy, horrible touch inside his own area goes straight to Leigh Griffiths, who can't believe his luck to smash in.

    Zlatan to Wayne Rooney, and we are under way.

    Barcelona 1-0 Celtic

    I think Jordi Masip has touched the ball more times than the entire Celtic side. Imagine being Barca's third-choice keeper. Just imagine. Roll into training every day, watch Messi, Iniesta and Suarez do their thing, head down to the beach in your souped-up sports car. Oh, and play the odd friendly against Celtic in Dublin. What a life.

    I think they are playing the theme to Superman as the teams come out. What's that all about? An ode to Zlatan?

    It's definitely Superman. 100%.

    Barcelona 1-0 Celtic

    Now then. A bit of life in this game. Barca defender Jeremy Mathieu is caught snoozing in possession, allowing Scott Brown to nip in and nick the ball. The Celtic skipper has a dig from 18 yards, his low shot is meat and drink for Barca keeper Jordi Masip.

    It's a beautiful evening in Gothenburg, bathed in red as the two sides emerge. Is Paul Pogba tuned in to this one?

    I'd forgotten how boring pre-season friendlies are. I'd rather spend a summer Saturday in a park watching the clouds drift by.

    Barcelona 1-0 Celtic

    Celtic are struggling to have a kick now. Pass, pass, pass, shoot. Barcelona are pinging the ball around neatly, forcing the Celtic players into plenty of chasing.

    Real Madrid v Chelsea (20:00 BST)

    The Spanish newspaper AS were reporting that tonight's later game in Michigan could be a doubt after heavy rain Stateside.

    They say, external: "The problem is that the turf was only recently laid, over an artificial, synthetic playing surface. During the past week, technicians have laid 25 fresh rolls of turf but it is unknown to what degree the pitch will be able to soak up so much heavy rainfall."

    But they now say that the game goes ahead as planned...

    That's my sort of pre-season friendly!

    A lovely spot in Aix-les-Bains for Sunderland this afternoon as they face Montpellier...

    Arda Turan (11 mins)

    Now Barcelona are sizzling. Quality opener from the Spanish champions. Right-back Aleix Vidal makes a mug of Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre, sticking the ball through his legs before cutting back to Arda Turan. A first-time curler into the top basket puts Barca ahead.

    Patrick Roberts has a bit of spark about him. The Celtic youngster shimmies into space on the right flank again, cuts inside and flashes another shot past the same post as he did inside the opening 15 seconds.

    Ten minutes in, not much to tell you.

    When his name was read out the place went nuts. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Manchester United's number nine.

    He should get plenty of service in that XI.
