Dimitar Berbatov blasts Man United players for overcelebrating win vs Fulham

• Manchester United started their 2023/24 season with a 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League at Old Trafford

• Former Premier League star Dimitar Berbatov criticised the players for overcelebrating the victory

Manchester United opened their 2024/25 Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford on Friday.

The Red Devils needed a late goal from debutant Joshua Zirkzee to get over the line after missing several golden opportunities.

The Red Devils produced a decent performance against a resilient Fulham side. Bruno Fernandes had chances to score but failed to convert.

New signing Joshuia Zirkzee's Premier League debut was memorable, as he scored the match-winning goal late in the game, per Eurosport.

The former Bologna striker poked Alejandro Garnacho’s cross into the far corner, giving his new team a much-needed opening night victory.

Man United players celebrated with the fans after the win, but Dimitar Berbatov felt it was a bit too much.

Erik ten Hag's side had a miserable 2023/24 Premier League season. They finished eighth, their worst in the Premier League era. The FA Cup win was a consolation, and fans expect a much better showing this time.

The 23-year-old capitalised on a well-delivered cross from fellow substitute Alejandro Garnacho, slotting the ball home with just three minutes remaining.
