Our summer signing from Swansea City has therefore gone down in the record books as our joint-quickest scoring debutant in the Premier League era, alongside – funnily, enough – the man who brought him to United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Here's a reminder of how the boss did it, plus details on four other Reds who got off to a lightning-fast start in the league:

The Norwegian, of course, earned himself a reputation as something of a super sub during his 11-year playing spell at United, netting 17 of his 91 league goals for the club after coming off the bench. So, it’s rather fitting that he was in that role when he opened his account, just seven minutes after he was introduced to the Old Trafford faithful. Signed at the end of July, Ole wasn’t included in the squad for our first two games, but he was thrown on with half an hour to play against Rovers, replacing David May with the Reds trailing 2-1. Within moments, a long punt forward by Peter Schmeichel was nodded on by goalscorer Jordi Cruyff and Solskjaer found himself with a clear route to goal. His first effort was blocked by Blackburn keeper Tim Flowers, but Ole made no mistake with his second attempt, lashing the ball home to secure a precious point. The rest, as they say, is history.
