In the first round of the Premier League on August 17th, Beijing time, Manchester United beat Fulham 1-0 at home, making a good start for the new season. After the game, Manchester United star Roy Keane commented on the game, especially paid attention to the performances of two new signings Mazlavi and Zirkze.
Keane spoke highly of Dutch striker Zirkze, who played for Manchester United for the first time. He said: "Zirkze's goal is very beautiful. This is his first show in the new club. Being able to score on such an occasion is undoubtedly a great encouragement and confidence enhancement. This is an important milestone for him personally, and it also shows us his potential and ability."
As for another new aid, Mazrawi, Keane thinks that although he has completed the basic tasks, the overall level of the competition has not given him too many opportunities to show himself. "Mazrawi did well tonight, but to be honest, the level of the whole game is not high." Keane said bluntly. "He has completed his defensive task and seems to be an athlete with excellent physical fitness. Of course, he will be happy that the team can score clean sheets, but for him, there are still more challenges waiting for him to overcome in the future."
Speaking about the game as a whole, Keane stressed the importance of building momentum. "Manchester United needs to maintain a stable performance in the new season, and it can't be as good and bad as last season." He said. "Even tonight, Manchester United didn't play very well, but they showed enough competitiveness and willpower to finally win the game. This tells us how important it is to find a way to win when they are in poor condition. I hope they can maintain this momentum and lay a solid foundation for the next game."
