Predicted lineups as Manchester United kickstart the new Premier League season with a tasty clash against Fulham at Old Trafford.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is set to give Matthijs de Ligt his debut in tonight's Premier League opener against Fulham, as the Red Devils seek to bounce back from last weekend's Community Shield loss to Manchester City.
Summer signing Joshua Zirkzee may also be handed his debut, as he aims to help his new club start the season with a win.
De Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are both available for the curtain-raiser at Old Trafford after their respective arrivals from Bayern Munich, and Ten Hag has confirmed they will be in the squad, with a possible start in the lineup.
With Luke Shaw out until the next international break with a calf injury, Tyrell Malacia is still unavailable, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka has joined West Ham, Manchester United is short of options at full-back.
