Premier League: dream start for Zirkzee, goal and victory for United

Manchester United’s season will start with a victory, signed by Joshua Zirkzee: 1-0 against Fulham. The start is evenly balanced in the first game of the season at Old Trafford, which will see a good performance from the Cottagers. The first opportunity belongs to the guests, with Tete challenging Onana. United, who surprisingly left Jadon Sancho in the stands, reacted to Bruno Fernandes and hit the outside of the net. Interchangeable roles between the Portuguese and Rashford, giving an invisible attack to the Red Devils’ attack, but Casemiro is the main one: the former Real Madrid player is reborn and armed for the Portuguese twice, but Leno is there. In the second half Fulham were again effective on the counter, and then took a risk on Mount’s chance: Leno did well with his feet. Manchester United do not break through and in the last half hour they also introduce Zirkzee, who celebrates in the 87th minute: on Garnacho’s cross, the former Bologna player also expect McTominay and scores with a strike. It is his dream debut, completely different from that of Hojlund, who scored after fifteen games. Ten Hag are celebrating, having changed the face of their attack (and defence, with de Ligt coming on in the 80th minute) and seeing a goal set up directly by the his representatives. It will end like this, with Manchester United beating wild Fulham 1-0 and their first win, losing out on an encore with Garnacho. The strange streak associated with this game continues: the 0-0 has been missing for exactly one hundred years.
