'Dream' start for Zirkzee - but questions over Sancho future

There was a pleasing symmetry for Manchester United in Joshua Zirkzee scoring a late winner on his Premier League debut against Fulham at Old Trafford.

Twenty-three years earlier, another Dutch forward did the same thing for United against the same opponents.

Zirkzee may not get close to Ruud van Nistelrooy's 150 goals in five seasons for the club but given his fellow countryman has returned to United as manager Erik ten Hag's coaching assistant, there was shared delight in his smartly taken 87th-minute effort.

"It doesn't matter if he is Dutch or English or Russian or South American," said Ten Hag.
