CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN has scored in his first game for Manchester United after sealing his move to Old Trafford this summer.
The Dane, 30, hit the back of the net in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Wrexham at United's Carrington training ground.
Fellow newboy Lisandro Martinez also made his Red Devils debut after clinching a £55million move away from Ajax.
And Eriksen's goal bodes well for the former Tottenham man as he looks to secure himself a start in Man Utd's opening Premier League game of the season against Brighton on August 7.
Reacting to their new signing scoring against Wrexham, one Man Utd fan said: "25+ goals from Eriksen will win us the league 🔥🔥."
Another added: "Eriksen just scored in a behind closed doors friendly. Rivals be scared."

Eriksen signed a three-year deal with Man Utd after his short-term spell at Brentford came to an end.
Just over 12 months ago, the ex-Inter Milan man suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at the Euros.
He had a defibrillator fitted but was unable to return to action in Italy due to Serie A regulations.
