Manchester United kicked off their 2024/25 Premier League season with a crucial home victory over Fulham.

Erik ten Hag’s side, who have faced much scrutiny despite strengthening their squad with new players, largely laboured to a win over the West London outfit.

Man United required a late, fortuitous effort from new signing, Joshua Zirkzee, to seal the victory against a team they lost to in the same fixture last season.

Footage from the dinner has since continued to garner reactions across social media, with many commenting on the players’ gestures, especially given it coincided with the PFA Award ceremony.
