Three new signing to start in a (3-4-2-2) formation”, Predicted Man United line up to face Fulham on Friday as Ten Hag set two drop two players who started Community shield final for new signings

The English Premier League’s opening match of 2024–25 will pit Manchester United against Fulham. The game is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, at Manchester’s Old Trafford.

Manchester United had a very poor record in the Premier League last season, especially considering their rich football heritage. They must defeat inferior opponents like Fulham if they are to perform better in the 2024–25 Premier League, particularly when they play at Old Trafford.

One may argue that Erik ten Haag’s team has already begun their 2024–25 campaign. As FA Cup winners, they took on Manchester City, their city rivals, in the Community Shield match. The regulation score of the close match was 1:1, but the Cityzens went on to win the trophy in penalties.

The Red Devils can be happy with their performance on the pitch even though they ultimately lost. Although they didn’t generate many opportunities, their midfielders—Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, and Mason Mount—performed a commendable job of controlling the game (but neither did Man City).

One reason for this could be that they were unable to send the ball to Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho because they were not making much space. If ten Haag chooses to start playing Joshua Zirkzee, his recent acquisition, this may be different. The 23-year-old Dutchman has finished an incredible season with Bologna, where he scored 11 goals in 34 matches in the Serie A.

Fulham Seems To Be An Even More Dangerous Offence Than Previous Year
With a 55:61 score differential, Fulham placed 13th in the Premier League the previous season. You could argue that’s not too bad, but the Cottagers suddenly appear capable of scoring even more goals. Joao Palhinha, a defensive midfielder, joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

Fulham signed two excellent playmakers with the money from the deal instead of bringing in a replacement that matches the same mould. Emile Smith Rowe, an ex-Arsenal player and Swiss army knife who frequently participates in chance creation, is their biggest summer addition. Additionally, they acquired Tottenham’s Ryan Sessegnon, a winger who was once their star.

In order to bolster their defence, Fulham also acquired Jorge Cuenca from Villarreal; nevertheless, Cuenca is well-known for being an extremely offensive-minded defender.

Prediction for Manchester United vs. Fulham
The Premier League season opening is expected to feature a high number of goals. Fulham appears capable of scoring, but on August 16, Manchester United ought to score several times. Having saying that, we think the home team will triumph handsomely.
