New signing Joshuia Zirkzee's Premier League debut was memorable, as he scored the match-winning goal late in the game, per Eurosport.
The former Bologna striker poked Alejandro Garnacho’s cross into the far corner, giving his new team a much-needed opening night victory.
Man United players celebrated with the fans after the win, but Dimitar Berbatov felt it was a bit too much.
"They're celebrating a bit too much. You beat Fulham 1-0. The game was boring as hell in my opinion. Go back inside," he said via SuperSport.
Erik ten Hag's side had a miserable 2023/24 Premier League season. They finished eighth, their worst in the Premier League era. The FA Cup win was a consolation, and fans expect a much better showing this time.
