The English defender tried to take the ball away from Wayne Rooney before he could hit it past Michel Vorm, but he ended up sending it to the back of his net.

They say three points are three points, even if you get them with an own goal. That seems to be Manchester United's tale today, as the Red Devils started the 2015-2016 season with a victory over Tottenham Hotspur, despite showing some shakiness in the backfield and with their strikers not able to strike the opponent's net. 

Kyle Walker's own goal after 22 minutes was enough for Van Gaal's men to win a match that David De Gea saw from the stands, as his transfer to Real Madrid seems to be a matter of days. Argentinean Sergio Romero took over De Gea's job, putting up a consistent performance.

United fans were pleased with the win, but they were not blinded by their passions and demanded their team to play better in their next outing. Kyle Walker's antics that gave them the win also received a "special treatment" but those who watched the game. 

Here are the best tweets about the first English Premier League match of the 2015-2016 season.

Some fans want the season to end already.

"Wayne Rooney" seemed dubious about the team's performance.

Finally, Kyle Walker's goal stole the game's headlines.
