Manchester United’s new £36 million signing, Joshua Zirkzee, immediately impacted Old Trafford, scoring a dramatic 87th-minute goal to secure a 1-0 victory over Fulham in their Premier League opener.
The match had been tightly contested, with United dominating possession but struggling to break down Fulham’s defence. Despite several promising chances, including efforts from Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount, the deadlock seemed unbreakable.
Fulham’s goalkeeper, Bernd Leno, was particularly impressive, making key saves to keep the score level.
United’s frustration grew as the game progressed, but Erik ten Hag’s side continued to press for a breakthrough.
The decisive moment came in the late stages when Zirkzee, who had been introduced as a substitute, latched onto a cross from Alejandro Garnacho. With calm precision, Zirkzee directed the ball into the bottom corner, leaving Leno with no chance and sealing the win for United.
The goal provided a crucial three points and marked a memorable debut for Zirkzee, who showed composure and clinical finishing under pressure.
Co-chairman Avie Glazer and new chief executive Omar Berrada witnessed the win as United began their Premier League campaign with a hard-fought victory.
Overall, while United may not have been at their best, Zirkzee’s decisive strike demonstrated the potential impact of their new signing and provided a hopeful start to their season.
