Debut goal a dream come true for Man Utd's Harrop

A dream come true for Manchester united teenager/debut Harrop scoring against Crystal Palace.
Josh Harrop said scoring on his Manchester United
debut was a "dream come true" after he hit the
opening goal against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Harrop was teed up by Paul Pogba but had lots of
work to do after 15 minutes at Old Trafford, cutting
inside Palace defender Martin Kelly to create an
opening for himself.
The 21-year-old - who became the 100th player to
score a Premier League goal for Manchester United
- bent a terrific finish into the corner to make the
perfect start to his United first-team career.
"I've dreamed about it so many times so, for it to
come true, I'm delighted," Harrop told MUTV. "[I'm]
over the moon!
"All my family were here, my friends - I'm
delighted they could share the moment with me.
I've trained since I was eight for this moment so,
for it to come true in front of everyone, I'm over the
moon, speechless."

Harrop had scored a hat-trick for United's reserve
team at Old Trafford in front of the watching Jose
Mourinho on Monday, but the boyhood United
supporter said early touches of the ball were
crucial to settling his nerves.
"I walked down the tunnel and was getting
goosebumps, thinking 'I'm actually doing this'," he
said.
"I said to myself, 'I want to get on the ball early
and get as many touches as I can'. That's what I
did and it helped me progress in the game.
"I've been played through, cut inside, opened it up
and put it in. I took the confidence from my last
game with the reserves, when I scored a hat-trick
here in front of the manager. That helped me
coming into the game as I felt in good form, so it
was good for me.
"I can only leave it in the manager's hands. That's
what I want to do week in, week out - play at Old
Trafford. I've supported United since I was born
and it's my dream to be out there playing and
scoring."
