Match predictions, preview & predicted lineups
Erik ten Hag will be hoping to get off to a positive start this season and knows that anything other than a win will lead to immediate pressure on him and his side.
Last season Fulham convincingly won this fixture so the ‘Red Devils’ will have revenge on their minds when the two sides lock horns on Friday night.
We are likely to see some of United’s new signings make their debuts as Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui have trained this week ahead of the game. Striker, Joshua Zirkzee will also be looking to make his first appearance for the home side.
Fulham will go into the game full of confidence after last year’s performance. They played without fear and caused plenty of problems for United throughout the game.
Marco Silva has added former Arsenal midfielder Emil Smith Rowe to his squad this summer and has already made a big impression during their pre-season campaign. Smith Rowe will be in line to make his competitive debut on Friday.
We predict that the home side will edge past Fulham in this one.
Predicted lineups:
Man Utd: Onana, Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Garnacho, Amad, Rashford
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Reed, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Perreia, Muniz
