Updated: Aug 17, 2024

In a thrilling start to the Premier League season, Manchester United secured a hard-fought victory against Fulham, clinching a 1-0 win in their opening match. The match saw a late debut goal from Joshua Zirkzee, who made an instant impact by slotting home the decisive strike.



Zirkzee, who was introduced in the second half, didn't waste time making his mark. The young forward latched onto a well-timed pass and prodded the ball past the Fulham goalkeeper, sealing the win for United in the dying moments of the match.


"Scoring on my debut is a dream come true. I just wanted to help the team, and I'm glad I could do that," Zirkzee commented after the match.


Another notable debut was that of Manchester United’s new signing, Noussair Mazraoui, who was handed a starting position. The Moroccan defender showed promise, contributing solidly at the back before being substituted in the second half alongside Matthijs de Ligt, who also made his appearance after the break.


"It’s always great to see new players stepping up in crucial moments. Zirkzee and Mazraoui showed their potential today," United's manager praised the debutants.



On the other side, Fulham introduced Emile Smith Rowe for his first appearance in their colors. Although the talented midfielder showed flashes of brilliance, he couldn't turn the tide for his new club.


The win gives Manchester United a strong start to their campaign, with fans eagerly anticipating how the new signings will continue to influence the season ahead.
