The full-back diverted the ball into his own net
when putting Wayne Rooney under pressure in the
first half as the axed David de Gea watched on
from the stands
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.
The right-back stabbed into the back of 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.
New signing Romero produced an assured display
- making a couple of fine, late saves - as
Tottenham were unable to build on an
encouraging start in which Christian Eriksen came
close to opening the scoring.
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.
