Joshua Zirkzee made the best possible first impression as a member of Manchester United and Gordon Strachan has praised the young forward for his instant impact.
Zirkzee was a second-half substitute for the Red Devils in their Premier League opener last weekend and he scored the game's lone goal in the 87th minute to give United a 1-0 victory.
It was a dream debut for the 23-year-old, and Strachan believes Zirkee made the optimal impression in his maiden home match at Old Trafford.
"The thing about Zirkzee, he’s kind of come out of nowhere," Strachan told Lord Ping. "He’s had a fairly nomadic career that, after one decent season playing in Italy for Bologna, has taken him to Manchester United.
"I think if you asked most football fans in the UK about him six months ago, most of them wouldn’t have been able to tell you much (about him). I liked his debut. He didn’t look in awe of Old Trafford, and we’ve seen players struggle on that stage in the past.
"You’ve got to have the right character if you want to play for Manchester United and, on first impressions, he’s got that. He didn’t look nervous at all. It was a great start for him."
