Manchester United will take on Marco Silva's Cottagers this evening to open the 2024/25 Premier League season
Manchester United's 2024/25 campaign is set to get underway this evening as they prepare to host Fulham for their eighth-straight season opener at Old Trafford.
However, the United backline will have a much different look to it as this summer's additions of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich will look to make an instant impact. Ahead of the match, Ten Hag hinted at the pair's immediate introduction for this evening's clash.READ MORE: Manchester United predicted line-up vs Fulham - one debut and a bold attacking decision
"Manchester United's transfer window has dragged along a bit. De Ligt didn't feature for the Netherlands, and he's played for a Bayern Munich team that dominates the ball. It'll go one of only two ways - he'll either be unbelievable or horrible for them. They've sold Wan-Bissaka, and I thought he was one of their better defenders.
"Fulham are a good team if their players can stay fit. They keep the ball well and can cause problems - this could be a funny game. Man United will need to be patient to win this game. Fulham could frustrate United in their opening game, and I'm backing them to pull off a draw here.Writing for Paddy Power, Lawrenson claimed: "Fulham actually beat Manchester United at Old Trafford late on last season but I don’t think they’ll be as strong this time around.
