Opener vs Fulham
Manchester United are set to take on Fulham in their first game of the season.
In 34 Premier League meetings, United have only lost to Fulham four times, although Marco Silva’s side did win their most recent clash 2-1. If Fulham emerge victorious on the opening day of the season, it will be the first time they have ever won consecutive away league visits to Old Trafford.
However, it will be the fourth time the two teams have met on the opening day of the season, with United winning all three previous matches.
