Joshua Zirkzee described his first goal for Manchester United as "an amazing feeling" after giving the Red Devils a 1-0 win over Fulham on his debut.

Joshua Zirkzee made himself a Manchester United hero on his debut with a late winner to beat Fulham 1-0 in the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday.

"To win here in my first home game and to grab a goal, it couldn't be better," said Zirkzee. "I've been told (scoring at the Stretford End) is one of the best feelings at Manchester United.

"I'm so thankful and blessed I could experience it in my first game. It's an amazing feeling," he continued. 

Ten Hag turned to Garnacho and Zirkzee from the bench in the search of a winner. In doing so United left themselves open and Fulham could have secured another famous three points at the Theatre of Dreams.
