If Gary Cahill could've designed his own Crystal Palace debut, the 90 minutes at Old Trafford would've been as close to the script as possible.
The centre-back came in at the heart of the Eagles defence, and dealt with the pace of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Daniel James like any seasoned pro with his trophy cabinet would.
Speaking post-match, Cahill's delight at the victory and being back out on the pitch was obvious, he said: "I’m delighted to be back out there playing football first of all. To come here and win is fantastic, Manchester United are an unbelievable team, especially at home.
