Manchester United kicked the new Premier League campaign off with a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Friday night. And it was summer signing Joshua Zirkzee who proved to be the matchwinner as the striker came off the bench to turn the ball into the back of the net three minutes before the end.
Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been busy in the transfer market this summer following an underwhelming season last time around.
And the Dutchman gifted Noussair Mazraoui a start at right-back, while Matthijs de Ligt also made an appearance off the bench.
There was no place for centre-back Leny Yoro, however, with the former Lille star undergoing surgery on his foot after suffering an injury during the pre-season friendly against Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood, enjoyed a sensational start to his Marseille career after bagging two goals and an assist during his side’s 5-1 thrashing of Brest on Saturday.
The 22-year-old left Old Trafford on a permanent basis over the summer following a successful loan spell at Getafe.

Man Utd could hijack Liverpool deal
Manchester United could hijack Liverpool’s attempts to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, according to The Mirror.
The Georgian shot-stopper, who starred at Euro 2024, has reportedly already agreed terms with Liverpool but is said to be open to a move to Old Trafford instead.
But United need to get a player off their wage bill ahead of any transfer, with Jadon Sancho a candidate to depart the club following his loan spell with Borussia Dortmund last season.

Greenwood branded ‘exceptional’
Mason Greenwood has been branded “exceptional” after bagging two goals and an assist against Brest on his Ligue 1 debut for Marseille on Saturday.
The French club landed the striker from Manchester United ahead of the new campaign after the ace had spent last season on loan at Getafe.
“Mason Greenwood is just exceptional,” stated Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi, who was in charge of Brighton last season. “He’s an excellent player and you can see that. I’m happy to see him scoring.”
Fiorentina show interest in Lindelof
Serie A giants Fiorentina are interested in signing Victor Lindelof, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The centre-back has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford this summer following the arrivals of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt.
Fiorentina are exploring the possible conditions of a move, with the ace’s contract in England expiring next summer.
McTominay makes Napoli demand
Manchester United star Scott McTominay has told Napoli boss Antonio Conte that he wants to move to the Serie A club this summer, according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
Napoli are said to be chasing the midfielder’s signature and have reportedly made contact over a move.
McTominay came off the bench for the final six minutes of United’s Premier League opener on Friday night as his side defeated Fulham 1-0.
Man Utd placed on red alert
Manchester United have been placed on red alert after Paris Saint-Germain decided to leave Manuel Ugarte out of their squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre on Friday night.
The midfielder is said to be United’s top target, with today’s edition of Sunday World reporting that the Premier League giants are working on a deal.
Meanwhile, HITC have claimed that Ugarte’s representatives are confident the player will complete a move to Old Trafford before the transfer deadline.
