Joshua Zirkzee admitted it was an "unbelievable" feeling to mark his Manchester United debut with the late goal that clinched a dramatic 1-0 win over Fulham.
Zirkzee came off the bench in the second half at Old Trafford on Friday and delivered a memorable first impression as his 87th-minute strike gave United the perfect start to the new season.

The Netherlands striker completed his switch from Bologna a month ago, but was among several United players to get an extended break after Euro 2024.

Misses all friendlies

He missed all of United's friendlies and was an unused substitute in last weekend's Community Shield loss to Manchester City. Zirkzee, 23, finally made his first appearance in United red against the Cottagers, with his winner making it a moment he will never forget. "A great feeling, it couldn't be any better. What can I say? Debut, winning, scoring in front of the Stretford End, so yeah, it's unbelievable," he said.
