Manchester United held on to start their season with a lacklustre win against Tottenham thanks to Kyle Walker's early own goal.

Kyle Walker scores an own goal to gift Manchester United the lead


After Christian Eriksen lobbed over when clean through, United went ahead as Walker poked into his own net when attempting to tackle Wayne Rooney.
That led to a better spell for United, who did not have a shot on target until Ashley Young's 65th-minute effort.
Sergio Romero - one of five United debutants - saved a late Eriksen drive.

Louis van Gaal celebrated his 64th birthday with a victory but his team were hanging on towards the end as Romero was twice called into action.
Tottenham - who finished fifth in the Premier League last season, six points behind United - started and ended the game strongly only three days after completing their final pre-season game against AC Milan in Germany.
