Full Time
Zirkzee does the business

How else would you like to start your weekend, Reds? Erik ten Hag's side left it late to begin the new campaign but really, we wouldn't have it any other way, as Joshua Zirkzee scored on his debut to win it. United had dominated proceedings in the first half and should have been ahead if not for the fine form of Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Twice the German goalkeeper denied Bruno Fernandes, while Casemiro also squandered two chances, one with his head and one with his foot. As the second half began, Ten Hag's side had to fend off pressure from the visitors, with Fulham going close on a couple of occasions and were denied if not for the heroics of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire. But with just three minutes remaining, Alejandro Garnacho's wonderful cross was prodded home expertly by Zirkzee, winning the game for United and sending the Stretford End into utter delirium. Not a bad way to start the season, eh?

Attempt Missed
Garnacho misses from close range

Marcus Rashford unselfishly squares the ball to Alejandro Garnacho who is left with a simple task. Unfortunately the youngster cannot connect and he misses the target.

Fulham go to the bench again

Marco Silva has one last through of the dice and replaces Jay Stansfield for Sasa Lukic. Harrison Reed is also on for Andreas Pereira.

Free-kick awarded to Fulham

Lisandro Martinez crashes into Kenny Tete and United have a free-kick to defend late on here at Old Trafford. There will also be an additional four minutes added time.

Zirkzee!

What a moment at Old Trafford! Off the bench, on debut, Joshua nonchalantly diverts home a cross from the right to put United ahead late on. His celebration that followed, in front of the Stretford End, is almost as cool as the true striker's finish, too.

Zirkzee has his goal!!!

We may have left it late but isn't that always the United way? Alejandro Garnacho's cross into the area is steered home by debutant Joshua Zirkzee and he is off the mark for the club. What a way to do it! Get in!!!
