The 26-year-old was his go-to central striker during United’s pre-season tour and rediscovered a prolific edge. Ten Hag changed things up with his starting XI for the contest after a 4-0 mauling away to Brentford and got the response he was looking for.

But, he made his return as a substitute for Anthony Elanga and played an incredible 45 minutes as United beat Liverpool at Old Trafford to register their first win of the season.
