Joshua Zirkzee is the hero as his late strike gets Manchester United off to a winning start in the 2024-25 Premier League season, following a 1-0 victory over Fulham.
The hosts, who carried the greater attacking threat for most of the contest, with Bernd Leno making smart saves to deny Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
Fulham had more than held their own, constantly looking dangerous on the counter, but their resolve was finally broken three minutes from time.
Substitute Zirkzee made it a debut to remember as he turned in Alejandro Garnacho’s cross at the Stretford End, giving Erik ten Hag’s side all three points.
Both teams are back in action next Saturday with United travelling to Brighton and Hove Albion, as Fulham host Leicester City.
