Manchester United yashinda dhidi ya Tottenham bao 1-0
Louis van Gaal's Manchester United side kicked-off the 2015-16 Premier League campaign with victory against Tottenham on Saturday, but they needed a Kyle Walker own goal to do so.
Spurs started brightly at Old Trafford and came close to taking the lead when Christian Eriksen's lofted effort drifted just over Sergio Romero's crossbar.
Despite an impressive start, it was United that took the lead as Walker inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in an attempt to take the ball away from United captain Wayne Rooney.
