Dutchman Joshua Circe gave his new team Manchester United a hard-fought opening win at home to Fulham 1-0 in the first round of the English Premier League.
The Dutchman, who came from Bologna, Italy, spared his compatriot, coach Erik ten Hag, criticism at the start of the season, by scoring the goal three minutes from the end after entering as a substitute, to give the “Red Devils” the three points at the start of a campaign in which they seek to erase the image of last season, during which they finished eighth, their worst ranking since (1989-1990) 13th place.
United began their 100th season in the top flight without new signing Lenny Yoro, who is out for three months with a foot injury sustained in a friendly against Arsenal.
The Red Devils also missed the Danish Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw due to injury, while new Moroccan signing Noussair Mazraoui played in the starting lineup and the two Dutch arrivals this summer, Matthijs de Ligt and Cerxi, started the match on the bench.
The only goal of the match came in the 87th minute when Garnacho played the ball from the right side to find Sirksi who followed it into the net, giving his new team a revenge victory over the London team that defeated them last season at Old Trafford by beating them 2-1 in the 26th round.
