Joshua Zirkzee has expressed his joy after enjoying a dream debut for Manchester United in their 1-0 win against Fulham at Old Trafford.

United fashioned plenty of chances but lacked the finishing touch as they sent most of their opportunities begging.

The likes of Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Casemiro all had sights of goal but unfortunately, none of them could hit the target.

With the game tied at 0-0, Erik ten Hag turned to his bench and brought on new signing Zirkzee as one of his impact substitutions.

In the dying embers of the match, the Dutch striker collected the ball in the middle of the visitors’ half, passed it along to Alejandro Garnacho and made his way into the box. Garnacho delivered a cross into the box, where Zirkzee was well-placed to meet it and divert it into the back of the net to secure the victory for the Red Devils.

Zirkzee was joined by his teammates in wild celebration to mark the monumental occasion.

After the final whistle, the former Bologna forward spoke to Sky Sports and was asked about how it felt to score in front of the famous Stretford End.

He replied, “To win here in my first home game and to grab a goal, it couldn’t be better.”

“I’ve been told [scoring at the Stretford End] is one of the best feelings at Man United. I’m so thankful and blessed I could experience it in my first game. It’s an amazing feeling.”

“At the end of the day we got the win, that’s all we wanted. I can’t really explain the feeling, it’s just very nice. I feel very warm here.”

“It’s a great team. We want to achieve something great. It’s been amazing, it’s been a dream actually.”

Zirkzee added, “The manager told me to bring an energy and help the team as much as possible, just that. Manchester United is a huge club. You should always strive for the best.”

“That includes day-by-day giving 100 per cent, that’s the plan. It’s all good vibes.”

Zirkzee will certainly be hoping to be included in the starting XI when United travel to take on Brighton and Hove Albion next weekend.
