Dutch professional footballer, Joshua Zirkzee emerged from bench to score an 87th-minute winner as Manchester United beat Fulham
Joshua Zirkzee scored on debut to give Manchester United victory over Fulham on the opening day of the Premier League season.
United have splashed £150million on four new signings in the summer transfer window – and it was Zirkzee, a £36m arrival from Bologna, who made the difference. The Dutchman turned in fellow substitute Alejandro Garnacho’s cross late on to win it for Erik ten Hag’s side.
The goal came at the perfect time for United, who had otherwise looked uninspired at Old Trafford, but did have the better chances through Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
United started sluggishly but mustered the only two real chances of the first half only for Fernandes to twice be denied by Bernd Leno after being played in by Casemiro. Mount tested Leno again but Fulham looked to be holding on for a point before Zirkzee’s impact. Here are the talking points.
