Robin van Persie Scores has Man UTd get their first Win of the Season

 Robin van Persie crowned his full debut for Manchester United with a stunning first goal for his new club in a nervy win against Fulham.

The Dutchman's strike came after Damien Duff had given the visitors the lead, and it came in a scintillating first half as Shinji Kagawa and Rafael added further goals.

David De Gea turned Mladen Petric's point-blank effort on to the bar but the United keeper then failed to reach a Fulham cross as Nemanja Vidic deflected into his own net.

 And when it looked like United might throw away their advantage, the Spaniard stopped Moussa Dembele's close-range shot before the home side finally restored a measure of calm to the game.

A late injury to substitute Wayne Rooney and defensive worries aside, where Michael Carrick again had moments of alarm as a stand-in centre-back, Sir Alex Ferguson's side were dominant for large periods of the game and they could easily have scored more as Kagawa hit a post and Rafael had a second goal disallowed.

The successful introduction of Van Persie in an alternative 4-2-3-1 system left United fans purring about his attacking threat and he may have to play without Rooney in coming games, after the England striker suffered a nasty gash to his thigh following his introduction as a second-half substitute.
