Manchester United went down early in their Champions League playoff match against Club Brugge, with Michael Carrick giving up a fairly entertaining own goal in just the eighth minute. Giving up an away goal that early in the first leg of this qualifying tie hurts for United, but as long as they leveled the score quickly, they could survive the blow. Thank goodness they bought Memphis Depay.
6 defenders couldn’t stop Memphis Depay from scoring
Not a bad way to score your first goal for a new club.

UPDATE: He’s scored another scorcher.
