Joshua Zirkzee made an impactful debut for Manchester United, scoring a late winner to secure a 1-0 victory over Fulham in their Premier League opener. The Dutch striker, who transferred from Bologna for £36.5m ($47 million), came off the bench in the final half-hour and netted the decisive goal in the 87th minute from an Alejandro Garnacho cross. United, missing key players due to injuries, struggled early but managed to gain control as the game progressed. Erik ten Hag's side showed signs of areas needing improvement, but the win gives them a positive start to the season. Zirkzee expressed his joy, describing the debut as a 'dream' and feeling 'thankful and blessed' for the opportunity to score at Old Trafford. The match also saw debut appearances from new signings Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.
