Manchester United - Fulham: LIVE Manchester United vs Fulham – English Premier League

 The English Premier League season begins at Old Trafford on Friday when Manchester United hosts Fulham to begin their campaign.

After winning the FA Cup final in May, the persistent doubt that had surrounded manager Erik ten Hag's job for the entire previous season appeared to vanish. Now, United will try to improve on their disappointing eighth-place result in the Premier League from the previous season.

 

United added several promising players to the roster over the summer, including Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui, who ten Hag can now use.

They take on Fulham, who in February of the previous season won the corresponding match at Old Trafford with a memorable 2-1 victory.

During the summer break, the Cottagers lost important defender Tosin Adarabioyo to Chelsea and influential midfielder Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich for a club record $62 million. However, center-back Jorge Cuenca, attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, and left-back Ryan Sessegnon all appear to be good additions to Marco Silva's team. Their goal this term is to surpass their 13th-place result from the previous one. 

On Friday, August 16 at Old Trafford, Manchester United will host Fulham. The game will begin at 8 p.m. local time, which means it will start at 12 p.m. PT or 3 p.m. ET in the US and Canada and at 5 a.m. AEST on Saturday morning in Australia.

How to use a VPN to watch the Premier League 2024–2025 season from any location

Using a VPN can be helpful if you are unable to watch EPL matches locally and need to find another way to watch the games. A VPN is also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. By encrypting your traffic, it's the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day. 

The starting lineup for Manchester United has been made public ahead of the first Premier League game of the upcoming 2024–25 campaign.

Noussair Mazraoui, the Morocco international, makes his United debut three days after joining from Bayern Munich thanks to Erik ten Hag's selection of him in the starting lineup. Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee, two other summer arrivals, are listed as substitutes and, should they be called upon, will also be making their Reds debuts.

Before the game starts, the audience will be introduced to the trio and Leny Yoro. The lone alteration from Saturday's Community Shield matchup between Manchester City and Wembley is the addition of Mazraoui in place of Jonny Evans. This implies that Diogo Dalot is the other full-back on the squad, and Harry Maguire partners with Lisandro Martinez in defense before Andre Onana.

We will be attacking fluidly on opening night with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo positioned in midfield behind Amad, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes.

LINE-UPS:

United: Onana; Fernandes (c); Amad, Mount, Rashford; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot.

Bayindir, De Ligt, Evans, Eriksen, McTominay, Collyer, Antony, Zirkzee, and Garnacho are the replacements.

Fulham: Adama, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Pereira; Leno (c).

Benda, Castagne, Cuenca, Cairney, Reed, King, Jimenez, Stansfield, Wilson are the replacements.
