DEBUTANT RED DEVILS

Watching Manchester United battle against Liverpool and injury yesterday, brought to mind Marcus  Rashford's debut on 25th February 2016 when at 18 years old he scored twice against Danish side FC Midtjylland in a Europa League tie, won by his side 5-1. The reason why Rashford was blooded was an injury to Anthony Martial in the warm up.
He became the youngest United player to score in European competition, breaking George Best's 50 year old record.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, now his manager, managed a debut goal in six minutes against Blackburn Rovers in the PL 1996.

Other Reds Devils to score on debut include: Nistelrooy in the Charity Shield against Liverpool in  the 2001 defeat 1-2.
Rooney scored against Fenerbahce in 2004, a hat trick at 18 years old.
Van Persie v Fulham 2001
Diouf v Burnley 2010
Ibrahimovic v Southampton 2016
Lukaku v Real Madrid 2017
Other Man U debutant scorers include Martial 2015, Welbeck 2008, Scholes 1994, Rossi 2005, Eagles 2007, Saha 2004, Heinze 2004, Macheda v Aston Villa 2009, Wilson 2014 twice v Hull (see below), Powell 2012 and Buttner 2012.
