Henrik Larsson was predictably delighted to have scored on his United debut as the Reds knocked Aston Villa out of the FA Cup.
The Swede turned in an outstanding 75-minute display, capped with a superb opening goal at the start of the second half.
After the game he told MUTV: "To make my debut, score a goal and win the game as well with a great goal from Ole, I'm very happy at the moment.
"I was happy to see it go in because I had a few chances in the first half which perhaps I could have done a little bit better with.
"But that's the way it is as a striker; some days everything goes in, some days a little less. But I was pleased to see that goal go in."
The veteran striker, on loan for 10 weeks from Helsingborgs, admitted making his bow in front of a packed Old Trafford was a special occasion.
"You expect a lot," he said. "But when you're running out and you see all the stands full it's fantastic.
"That's what you want to play football in, and in front of as many people as possible. Here there was over 70,000 and it was fantastic."
Despite his outstanding display, Larsson was keen to maintain modesty and pay tribute to his new team-mates.
