Manchester United won slightly more than 50% of their matches at Old Trafford last season, with the Red Devils drawing three games and losing six times in front of their own fans. Although the north-west giants claimed an FA Cup success last term, it’s clear that eighth place in the Premier League won’t be accepted as a finish this season.
There’s been something of a clear-out at the club this summer, with Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial and Brandon Williams among those players leaving Old Trafford, with Ten Hag looking to bring in fresh faces although there are already some promising young players who represent the future of the team.
The Premier League betting sites make Manchester United odds-on favourites to claim an opening three points, with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund returning from Euro 2024 duty, while Alejandro Garnacho is back from his Copa America campaign with Argentina and these players can help to propel the club to greater heights.
As for Fulham, they have already lost Tosin Adarabioyo to Chelsea and we might also see Joao Palhinha exit Craven Cottage, with Bayern Munich in hot pursuit of the midfielder. The Cottagers finished the previous campaign with a 4-2 win at Luton although wins had been previously scarce and perhaps United will land the win they crave.
