Thread of Manchester United players past & present and their debuts. #MUFC

DAVID DE GEA: 'Dave' didn't have the most thrilling start to his Manchester United career, conceding twice vs City in the opening 45 minutes of the Community Shield at Wembley, with United 2-0 down at Half Time.

But he kept clear in the second half and United won 3-2.

NANI: He was the main man for David De Gea's debut in 2011, @luisnani made his debut in the same competition in 2007. He came off the bench in a 1-1 draw vs Chelsea at Wembley. United won 3-0 on penalties after @vdsar1970 saved 3 penalties in the shootout. #MUFC

JUAN MATA: Mata made the move to United from Chelsea in January 2014, making his debut vs Cardiff City just days later and provided an assist for @youngy18 in a 2-0 Premier League win at Old Trafford for the Red Devils. #MUFC

EDWIN VAN DER SAR: One of Manchester United's greatest goalkeepers, Edwin made his debut against Hungarian side Debreceni VSC in a Champions League qualifier, a 3-0 win for the Red Devils and a clean sheet for the Dutchman, who went his first 5 games without conceding. #MUFC

WAYNE ROONEY: An unforgettable debut that few will need reminding.

Wayne Rooney made his debut after the move from Everton in a Champions League group stage encounter with Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

And a dream debut it was, Wayne scored a hat-trick in a 6-2 win in 2004. #MUFC

RAFAEL DA SILVA: Rafael replaced @FraizerCampbell with 10 minutes to go to make his Manchester United debut vs Newcastle United in the Premier League at Old Trafford, a 1-1 draw in August 2008. #MUFC

ZORAN TOŠIĆ: Okay, last one, for now.

Tošić replaced none other than @Cristiano for his #MUFC debut - also in the 2-1 FA Cup 4th round win over Spurs.

He's another with a perfect record for the Red Devils. P5 W5 D0 L0.

FABIO DA SILVA: Couldn't do one without the other, could we?

Fabio made his debut, starting vs Spurs in the FA Cup 4th round in January 2009, a 2-1 comeback win over Spurs. #MUFC

DWIGHT YORKE: Yorke made his debut for Manchester United against West Ham United at Upton Park. He didn't manage to find a winner though as the game finished 0-0.

Yorke found the net twice on his home debut vs Charlton Athletic though. #MUFC

RICHARD ECKERSLEY: One more this morning? Why not?

Eckersley replaced fellow debutant @Ofabio3 in that 2-1 FA Cup 4th round win over Spurs - the first of his 4 appearances for the club, all of which were won by the Red Devils. 4-0-0. Not a bad record, eh? #MUFC
