Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy conceded the Red Devils are missing a world-class striker, but remains hopeful that Ramus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee can develop into that role.
Zirkzee came off the bench in the second half at Old Trafford on Friday and delivered a memorable first impression as his 87th-minute strike gave United the perfect start to the new season.
Joshua Zirkzee made himself a Manchester United hero on his debut with a late winner to beat Fulham 1-0 in the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday.
Coach Erik ten Hag insisted last season could have turned out very differently had injuries not hindered Manchester United's progress, but further setbacks ahead of the new campaign have dampened the mood around Old Trafford once again.
Manchester United newcomer Joshua Zirkzee said fans can expect to see a creative, unpredictable player who developed his skills in cage football, and idolised Ronaldinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
