BOURNEMOUTH, England -- A superb goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic on his Premier League debut helped Manchester United to a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday in Jose Mourinhos first league game in charge of his new club.Juan Mata opened the scoring five minutes before halftime after a defensive blunder and captain Wayne Rooney headed Uniteds second in the 59th after a wayward shot by Anthony Martial.But if there was an element of good fortune to Uniteds first two goals, there was no doubting the sheer class of its third. Ibrahimovic picked up the ball in midfield and unleashed a low 25-meter (yard) shot past Artur Boruc into the corner of the net.Adam Smith scored Bournemouths consolation goal in the 69th, but Mourinhos side never looked like relinquishing control of the game.We werent at 100 per cent but in the second half it became easier, Ibrahimovic told Sky Sports. It was a good game, a good start and it was important to start with a win.As for his first impression of Premier League football, the Swedish forward added: Its not easy. Everything is new for me. Slowly I get settled in, play my game and make my team win.Having spent nearly $200 million on new players and brought in former Chelsea manager Mourinho to replace Louis van Gaal, United will be expected to challenge for honors this season.Sundays away performance at the Vitality Stadium was certainly an encouraging one for the start of the Mourinho era, particularly after derby rival and title favorite Manchester City scraped a 2-1 win over Sunderland on Saturday.Determined to make a positive start, United applied most of the pressure in a tightly contested first half that saw few chances.It took two Bournemouth defenders to clear the danger from Ibrahimovics aerial challenge for a high ball into the area, while Martial arrowed a shot harmlessly over the top in the early stages.Rooney then tried his luck with a low shot in the 27th minute, but Boruc got down quickly to make the save.Bournemouth had been disciplined at the back and looked set to finish the half on level terms until a costly blunder by Simon Francis handed United the lead.A sloppy backpass to Boruc was pounced on by Mata, who stretched out to toe-poke a shot on target. Boruc managed to block, but the loose ball struck Franciss knee as he ran back to clear and then rebounded into the path of Mata who steered it into an empty net.There was also a touch of luck to Uniteds second goal, as the visitors kept probing Bournemouths defense after the re-start.Antonio Valencia broke down the right side and sent over a cross for Martial, who hopelessly miscued his volley. However, after his downward shot struck the turf, the ball reared up conveniently for Rooney to nod past Boruc from the edge of the six-yard area.By contrast, there was nothing but star quality behind Uniteds third, with 34-year-old Ibrahimovic driving home his shot from distance to maintain a record of scoring on debuts. To its credit, Bournemouth refused to buckle and Smith smacked a shot into the roof of the United net from inside the area in the 69th minute.But there was no way back for the home side, as United made sure of a winning start to the new league season.

Read below.MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Golden Gophers football coach Tracy Claeys doubled down Sunday on his support for players who boycotted practices and threatened to skip a bowl game if 10 teammates suspended after a sexual assault investigation werent reinstated.Speaking publicly for the first time since a standoff between 110 Golden Gophers football players and the administration, Claeys said he understands the players frustration with a Title IX investigation that they felt was inherently unfair to teammates who were accused of assaulting a woman at an off-campus dorm in September.As kids, they have no problems being held to a higher standard than the university requires and should require, Claeys said after Minnesotas practice. This is all about the due process.Claeys also clarified a comment he made on WCCO radio on Sunday morning when he said he was risking his job by supporting the players. The coach said he was just advising his players of possible ramifications during a team meeting on Thursday, before the team made the announcement to boycott.I was a sounding board for them and it was their decision, Claeys said. I made sure to make sure that they knew what the possible fallouts could be and we went through all those things. ... I was there to make sure that they were doing it for the right reasons and they knew what the consequences could be.The boycott ended Saturday when the team backed down and said they would play in the Dec. 27 Holiday Bowl against Washington State in San Diego, even though officials declined to reinstate their suspended teammates. The players agreed after getting assurances that those accused will get a fair hearing next month.After the entire team announced the boycott Thursday, Claeys publicly backed his players.Have never been more proud of our kids, Claeys tweeted at the time. I respect their rights (and) support their effort to make a better world!Claeys said Sunday he wished he would have chosen his words more carefully in the tweet, but said he did not regret sending it.If you just show support for the players behind closed doors, youre going to have a group of them that dont believe you, he said. I needed to do that in a public way and I tried to do it as short as possible. ... It was all about me supporting their actions to try to improve the due process. Not just on this campus but other campuses.Claeys said his players were not condoning sexual assault or harassment in any way. But they believed their suspended teammates were denied due process.Officials announced the suspensions Tuesday after an internal investigation determined the 10 players violated school conduct codes in an encounter involving a woman and sseveral players on Sept.dddddddddddd 2.According to the police report, the woman told police she had consensual sex with two men that night, but that she did not consent to sexual contact with other men who were present, including players. According to universitys more detailed internal report, she told university investigators that she believed 10 to 20 men had sex with her that night, though she wasnt sure largely from her experience of shock, pain and fear rather than from intoxication.Prosecutors declined to press charges, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but the university uses a lower bar in student discipline cases.Linebacker Nick Rallis told WCCO the players believe the boycott succeeded, even though nobody was reinstated, because they believe it will ensure that athletes at Minnesota and other colleges who are accused of misconduct in the future get fair hearings.The Title IX investigative process has become a hotly-debated topic on campuses around the country. Opponents argue that school investigators are often not professionals and do not have subpoena power or the ability to put a witness under oath.Proponents say the problem of sexual assault on college campuses is too important, especially after the Department of Education threatened to pull federal aid for public schools if they did not increase their efforts to address the problem.Minnesota President Eric Kaler said Saturday that he understood that Claeys position.Coaches are in a challenging position, Kaler said. They need to support their players. They need to motivate their players. At the same time, they need to be responsible for their actions, and there are times in which those two demands put coaches in very difficult positions.And I think some of our coaches around this issue were in that very difficult position and well talk about that with them and try to improve both their understanding and our understanding.Claeys said he has spoken with athletic director Mark Coyle several times since Thursday and is not concerned about his job at the moment.I understand why (the suspensions) were made, Claeys said. But as for the players, the due process part was the part I did agree with on the players.An earlier version of this Associated Press report erroneously stated that the alleged victim told university investigators she couldnt be sure how many men were involved because of memory gaps from drinking. The woman told investigators she felt her inability to clearly remember events was mainly from shock, pain and fear rather than from intoxication.
