Memphis Depay opened his account for Manchester United in the 3-1 win against San Jose Earthquakes on Tuesday night and he looked like he enjoyed the moment.
Linking up with Wayne Rooney well, the Dutchman looked lively throughout his 45 minutes on the pitch.
He was unlucky not to get something on the end of Juan Mata’s opener as it went through into the goal but he made up for it just five minutes later with a cool finish.
It was clear that Memphis was delighted with the goal and he celebrated passionately:
So this is how it feels to score your first United goal… #MUtour pic.twitter.com/ipuf89UbV7

Along with Memphis, fellow youngsters Luke Shaw and Andreas Pereira put in similarly impressive performances in California.
United have an exciting crop of young players coming through who have the potential to become world-class. However, experienced heads such as Van Gaal and Bastian Schweinsteiger will make sure their feet stay firmly on the ground.
