Joshua Zirkzee admits his match-winning Man United debut was a 'dream' come true as £36.5m striker comes off the bench to help Red Devils beat Fulham at Old Trafford

Joshua Zirkzee described his match-winning Manchester United debut as a 'dream' come true after coming off the bench to help his new side defeat Fulham.

Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna this summer in a £36.5million move, was an unused substitute last weekend in the Community Shield but made his mark under the lights to condemn Fulham to a 1-0 defeat.

Sent on for Mason Mount with 30 minutes to go, Zirkzee endeared himself by scoring the winner in front of the Stretford End, converting Alejandro Garnacho's cross.

'To win here in my first home game and to grab a goal, it couldn't be better,' the Dutchman told Sky Sports.
