Zirkzee named Man of the Match on debut

The Netherlands international forward, who joined the club from Bologna earlier this summer, came off the bench just after the hour mark and went on to make the decisive contribution in our first Premier League game of the new season.

With the game goalless in the 87th minute, Zirkzee superbly converted Alejandro Garnacho's low cross from the right to earn United three points at the end of a closely contested clash with the Cottagers.

Our new no.11 scooped exactly 33 per cent of the votes from supporters on ManUtd.com and in the United App, which was enough to come out on top in our poll, following his dream moment in front of the Stretford End.
