Manchester United got their Premier League campaign off to a winning start on Friday night and it was the perfect debut for one of their new signings. Joshua Zirkzee came off the bench to score the winner against Fulham, his neat finish securing a 1-0 win for Erik ten Hag's men.

But the Dutchman's work in the transfer window is far from done. The club continue to be linked with PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who was left out of the squad as the French champions won at Le Havre last night.

And INEOS are reportedly working hard to secure further additions before the window slams shut on August 30. The club are also expected to make player sales in order to fund further moves, with the future of Jadon Sancho in particular still up-in-the-air.

20 mins ago08:25Fraser WatsonTen Hag told to go for 'rubbish' football

Despite the winning start, former United defender Jaap Stam has urged Erik ten Hag to leave Old Trafford.

"He needs to look at himself and how last season panned out, I don’t always agree with him in terms of him saying they played good football," he told the Simon Jordan Up Front podcast.

“I understand that as a manager you need to be positive. That said, it’s also good to just be honest and say that your team played rubbish football. He needs to step up this season, there have been a lot of changes made at the club with the staff so I’m curious how it’s going to work out for them.”
