Among them was a fellow substitute on the night, Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentine providing the deft cross that was converted by Zirkzee for the decisive goal.
“Welcome to Manchester,” wrote Garnacho on his Instagram account, accompanied by an image of the attacking duo embracing in celebration.
Another of our young stars, Kobbie Mainoo, described Zirkzee as a “hit man” after displaying killer instincts in front of goal, in an Instagram post which also read: “No place like home.”
