Joshua Zirkzee made an immediate impact on his debut, coming off the bench to score the decisive goal in Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over Fulham.
Erik ten Hag opted to start Bruno Fernandes in a false nine role as United aimed to begin their Premier League campaign on a strong note. However, despite dominating play, Fernandes squandered two clear opportunities to put his team ahead.
In the second half, Ten Hag brought on Zirkzee, the former Bologna striker, who quickly made his presence felt. He slipped into the box unnoticed to cap off a well-executed passing sequence with a clinical finish.
