According to Stretty News, every time he had the ball, he seemed to be on the verge of creating something for Erik ten Hag's squad.
His efforts finally paid off in the 39th minute when he received a pass from Mason Mount, cut in onto his left foot, and unleashed an unstoppable curler into the bottom corner, drawing first blood for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, newly signed defender Lenny Yoro, who was also a transfer target for Real Madrid, made his debut for the Premier League side.
