An own goal from Kyle Walker ensured Manchester United opened the Premier League season with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday, Goal reports.
The right-back stabbed the ball into his own net midway through the first half after a new-look United side had made a shaky start.
David de Gea watched on as Sergio Romero made his United debut, with Louis van Gaal stating that the Spain goalkeeper is not in the right frame of mind amid ongoing speculation over a move to Real Madrid.
The Argentine international Romero produced an assured display – making a couple of fine, late saves – as Tottenham pushed for a late equalizer.
Van Gaal must have seen plenty of room for improvement as he aims to turn United into title contenders, but will be happy with three points after losing at home to Swansea City on the opening day last year.
Romero, Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay made their Premier League debuts for United, while Germany World Cup winner, Bastian Schweinsteiger, was among the substitutes.
