The summer signing came off the bench after the hour mark of the Red Devils' opening Premier League game of the season with the game tied at 0-0. After collecting the ball in the middle of the visitors' half, he played it out to Alejandro Garnacho and made his way into the box where he was well placed to meet a cross and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-joshua-zirkzee-casemiro/bltca0508304b5cd0f9" target="_blank">divert it into the net in the 87th minute to secure a 1-0 victory</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Netherlands international says he felt "blessed" after his debut appearance as he explained what manager Erik ten Hag said he expects of him after he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joshua-zirkzee-man-utd-bologna-gbp36m-transfer-old-trafford-ineos/blt7ea32762eb03c836" target="_blank">completed his €42.5 million (£36m/$46m) transfer from Bologna</a> in July.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"To win here in my first home game and to grab a goal, it couldn't be better," he told Sky Sports. "I've been told [scoring at the Stretford End] is one of the best feelings at Man United. I'm so thankful and blessed I could experience it in my first game. It's an amazing feeling."At the end of the day we got the win, that's all we wanted. I can't really explain the feeling, it's just very nice. I feel very warm here. It's a great team. We want to achieve something great. It's been amazing, it's been a dream actually."The manager told me to bring an energy and help the team as much as possible, just that. Manchester United is a huge club. You should always strive for the best. That includes day by day giving 100 per cent, that's the plan. It's all good vibes."

WHAT ZIRKZEE SAID

Ten Hag and his United players will feel a significant boost after opening their Premier League campaign with three points. They will now start preparing for their next game - against Brighton on August 24.
