Steve Bruce is confident that Joelinton will now go from strength to strength after netting the match winner at Spurs.
United picked up their first win of the season thanks to the Brazilian’s strike in the capital.
Joelinton came in from Hoffenheim for £40million and has started to repay his big fee.
Bruce said: “He’s only been at the club a month.
“I thought we could play to his strengths better because if you get the ball in to him, you can be pretty direct with him.
“He’s got a left foot and a right foot, and when you come for a lot of money and you’re a centre-forward, you want to get off the mark and score.
“He had a big chance against Norwich, but today, his touch and the way he’s taken it, was excellent.
“I’m delighted for him.”
