Matthijs de Ligt made his Bayern Munich debut on Wednesday and scored with his first touch.

The 22-year-old, who had only completed his move from Juventus 24 hours earlier, entered Bayern's pre-season friendly against DC United as a half-time substitute.

Bayern were already 3-0 up after an opening 45 minutes that had seen Sadio Mane score and assist on his debut.

De Ligt made it 4-0 just 94 seconds into his Bayern bow when he thundered a left-footed volley into the net after Leon Goretzka's corner has been flicked on by Thomas Muller.

Bayern went on to win the game 6-2.

Marcel Sabitzer, Joshua Zirkzee and Muller also ended the night on the scoresheet for Bayern.

Skage Simonsen Lehland and Theodore Ku-DiPietro netted consolation strikes for DC United.
