Manchester United face Fulham tomorrow evening in the English Premier League curtain raiser.

Playing at Old Trafford at 8pm, this will be the first top flight league game played in the new campaign.

Many eyes will be on the starting lineup for the Red Devils.

New signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui were signed in time to play in the match, while fellow summer signing Joshua Zirkzee will be hoping to play some part and make his first appearance in a red shirt.

We know that Untied will be missing several key players as the likes of Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are just three players ruled out through injury.

Fulham, on the other hand, have a fully fit squad to choose from.

Marco Silva’s side have come through pre-season without any injuries and will be raring to go.

The Cottagers are hoping to repeat their famous victory at Old Trafford in February, when they beat the Red Devils 2-1 in the English Premier League.

Calvin Bassey opened the scoring, with Harry Maguire equalising in the 89th minute before Alex Iwobi scored a 97th minute winner.

And it looks like the away team will be fielding two fresh faces as they aim to make it back-to-back victories at The Theatre of Dreams.

Emile Smith-Rowe, signed from Arsenal in the summer, and Jorge Cuenca, brought in from Villarreal, are in line for a competitive start according to United’s official website.

Both players will be looking to make an impression on their new fans by claiming a big scalp in the shape of Manchester United.

Fellow summer signing Ryan Sessegnon, who rejoined the club on a free transfer after leaving Tottenham Hotspur, is likely to be on the bench behind Antonee Robinson.

Erik ten Hag will be hoping that his debutants will be able to outshine Fulham’s and get his side the first three points of the 2024/25 season.
