Manchester United is gearing up to face Fulham in their opening Premier League match, with new signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui set to make their debuts. The two players, who recently completed their moves from Bayern Munich, will likely be included in the squad for Friday night’s game, although it remains to be seen if they will start.
De Ligt could potentially partner with Lisandro Martinez in defense due to Leny Yoro’s injury, while Harry Maguire is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup. There are also uncertainties surrounding Luke Shaw’s fitness, but manager Erik ten Hag is set to provide updates on the team’s status ahead of the match.
In attack, Bruno Fernandes is expected to lead the line, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo also vying for spots in the starting XI. Joshua Zirkzee may also make his debut after being an unused substitute in the Community Shield match against Manchester City.
The predicted lineup for Manchester United against Fulham includes Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Garnacho, Mount, Rashford, and Fernandes. The match is set to kick off on Friday at 8pm, with live coverage available on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
As the new season kicks off, fans are eager to see how the team will perform under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag and with the addition of new signings. The match against Fulham will provide an early test for United as they look to start the season on a positive note and set the tone for their campaign ahead.
