Joshua Zirkzee made a memorable debut for Manchester United by scoring the decisive goal in their 1-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League opener. Signed from Bologna for €42 million, Zirkzee came off the bench in the 61st minute and netted the winner in the 87th minute, connecting with an Alejandro Garnacho cross. Erik ten Hag, Manchester United's manager, praised Zirkzee's performance but highlighted the team's need to improve their finishing and overall play. Fulham, despite a solid defensive display and opportunities to score, ultimately fell short. The win provided a positive start to the season amid United's larger ambitions and new signings.
