Manchester United Vs Fulham Predicted Lineups, And Team News As The English Premier League Returns This Weekend With ‘The Red Devils’ Facing ‘The Cottagers’ At The Old Trafford.
The 2024/25 English Premier League season kicks off on Friday evening at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ as Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United faces Fulham. For the 10th time in 11 seasons, the red devils begin their Premier League campaign on their home soil.
Erik ten Hag’s team lost to Pep Guardiola’s ‘not giving-up’ team in the FA Community Shield in a 1-1 draw after the 90 minutes. The red devils were defeated in a penalty shoot-out. Already, Ten Hag’s men had defeated Manchester City 2-1 last season in the FA Cup finals.
Ahead of their opener against Fulham, Manchester United will be hoping to impress the fanbase and the football world after the disastrous loss to Liverpool in the preseason and a hard fought loss to Manchester City in the Community Shield.
With new arrivals such as Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt, Manchester United will be hoping to grab an impressive result at home on Friday evening. Fulham, on the other hand, will be hoping to give the red devils a scary dream at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ on Friday evening.
Per reports, the new signings are fit for the game, excluding Yery Lono, who is still in recovering phase after he suffered an injury during the preseason. Luke Shaw will not feature after suffering a calf injury. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will not be seen in the United jersey any more after his transfer to West Ham, who plays Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Fulham after their marvellous victory against United in February this year will be aiming to maintain its team work after the transfer of Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, and Joao Palhinha. Despite the red devil’s new signings, the Cottager will be looking forward to an exciting game. With new signing Smith Rowe from Arsenal, Fulham will be hoping for their first 3 points of the new season.
