Donny van de Beek and the Man United players who scored on their debut

Donny van de Beek made his Manchester United debut on Saturday and it was one with mixed feelings.

Ajax’s summer arrival was on the minutes for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, but he couldn’t help them score maximum points as they fell 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace.

United fell behind in the first ten minutes thanks to an easy goal from Andros Townsend before Wilfried Zaha doubled his lead from the penalty spot in the second period.

Van de Beek retired one with ten minutes to go, but was once again beaten by a punch from Zaha, the second of the night.

With his goal, Donny became the 20th Manchester United player to score in his Premier League debut.
