Diouf delighted with Man Utd goal on home debut

Mame Biram Diouf was thrilled to score on his home debut for Manchester United in their 3-0 win over Burnley.

Like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Senegalese striker's arrival at Old Trafford was decidedly low-key. And on Saturday against Burnley, Diouf continued to mirror Ole's early OT career by netting on his home debut.

Diouf, sent on for Wayne Rooney on 73 minutes, put the icing on the cake of United's 3-0 win, stealing in during injury time to head over the onrushing Brian Jensen at the Stretford End.

"It feels good to score in my first game here," he told MUTV. "I was nervous for the first two or three minutes but then you forget about all the people in the stands and you do your job."

Diouf added: "I'm just going to work hard and do my best and we'll see when the manager needs me. I'll be ready, though.

"I want to give my best for my new team and be ready when they need me. I'll work hard in training, never give up and be ready for the next chance that comes along."
