Best United debuts XI

Can remember Fabian Brandy first game against Notts county got it in my head he was quality that day.

Also didn’t Moose score 2 on his debut or was that later on

It seems everyone should make their debut against Sunderland

We may well have McAtee and Doyle making their league debuts against them and a first start for Khadra in the works

Steve Kabba and Dean Windass in the 5-0 win at Bradford

Does Kabba count for his Grimsby Town performance?

MGW against Peterborough. Scored a cracker and set up Ndiaye's first goal.

Olivier Tebilly. Played 8 times for us - every one a peach - then we sold him for a million pound profit.

He then gave a penalty away on his debut for Celtic and got sent off - and on his debut for Birmingham, he scored an own goal.

He went on to become the first black guy to own a vineyard in France.

At one point, he was playing alongside Rafael Scheidt at Celtic while they were linked with David Weir.

Meaning they could have lined up with Weir, Tebily, Scheidt...

Seen most of the above mentioned, but the best has to be sir Bobby Davison in the pouring rain at the shit tip.

Paul Tomlinson saved a pen on his debut, I think.

Norwood for me is the best ive seen i remember when he won man of the match. wasnt it 1st 4 games in a row & i remember being shocked that we were a threat at set pieces for the 1st time in memory

David Brooks in the only home pre season game v stoke, i had heard the rumours & he more than matched the expectations as you could tell he was special straight away

Whoa, never mind an opinion on this thread. Need the explanation of where the "View from Villa fans" went for Doc Pace! Tardy work.

Yesterday's debut by Anel Ahmedhodzic was one of the best I've seen in a United shirt. This is my team of United players' best debuts (my memory might be at fault with some facts, so correct me if I have put anything wrong).
1. Mel Rees v Liverpool. We had a goalkeeping crisis and was worried when we got a journeyman goalkeeper in. He turned out to be fantastic for us and helped keep a clean sheet against Liverpool.
2. Wayne Quinn v Sunderland. A surprise selection by Nigel Spackman, but he had a great debut attacking on the left and turned out to be a cracking wingback for us.
3. Vas Borborkis v Sunderland. A superb debut, possibly best first match I have seen in a United shirt. Absolute class and Sunderland couldn't cope with him.
4. Gordon Cowans, can't remember who it was against, but as soon as I saw him play you could see how he had had such a successful career. Could barely run, but always seemed to be where thr ball was.
5. Harry Maguire v Cardiff . Came on a substitute and the first thing he did was put Craig Bellamy on his backside. A great way to win over fans!
6. Anel Ahmedhodzic v Millwall. Best debut in years, fast going forward, crunching tackles just what we need. The bad news is that looking at this list shows a good debut doesn't always mean a successful career!
7. David Frain v Sunderland. Fast and skilful, I predicted he would play for England. It wasn't to be, I guess I was young and naive!
8. Michael Brown v Portsmouth. A loan signing initially and played so well that Unitrd fans were wanting us to sign him. What a great signing he proved to be!
9. Tony Daws v Blackburn. I wasn't at the match but scoring two goals on your debut isn't a bad start!
10. Bobby Davidson v Wednesday. The all time best debut for United. Roy Of The Rovers stuff scoring twice on your debut against your big rivals!
11. Peter Hetherston v Barnsley. An early signing by Dave Bassett and a great debut, he kept hitting the woodwork though which was a bit unlucky. Might have chosen Tony Agana who also looked good on his debut.

David frain v Sunderland?
I take it that's not when he came on for the last 10 mins n scored the last min winner?

Louis Reed against Rotherham. Looked a baby on the field but used the ball so intelligently on the night. He looked like a future star but his career at the lane quickly bottomed out.
