Manchester United vs Fulham

August 16 at Old Trafford will be the match of the 1st round of the English Premier League, in which Manchester United will play against Fulham.

“Manchester United”

The team begins the third season under the leadership of ten Hague. It seemed that this will not happen – Eric after 2022/2023 in many ways failed with his wards – both in the Champions League and in the APL. But still managed to win the FA Cup at the last minute. By the way, at Wembley then won in the “derby” City.

And the same pair opened a new soccer year in Foggy Albion. They played this time the Super Cup of the country. There it turned out to give a fight, but after a 1-1 draw, still in a protracted penalty shootout won the “citizens”. At the same time, a number of personnel issues have not yet been closed. Jorro, that was supposed to become a stronghold of the defense, has already broken down. And negotiations with Bayern have clearly dragged on. As a result, only in midweek acquired both De Ligt and Mazraoui – but are they ready to make their debut now?

“Fulham”

The club periodically climbed to the Premier League, but, as a typical “elevator”, did not stay there. And only with Marcu Silva it was finally possible to guess. “Dachshunds” with him managed to win the Championship, and, most importantly, after that, unlike previous attempts, the newcomer managed to stay in the APL. Moreover, it was not a blow that last summer scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic decided to leave for the Middle East for more money. They couldn’t replace him completely, but the Portuguese rebuilt the game and still collected enough points to finish comfortably within serious distance of the relegation zone.

Now the manager has a new challenge: to replace Pailinho, the support player who left for Bayern. By the way, in his place they obviously wanted to buy McTominay just from MJ, but there the story dragged on – perhaps the bosses of the “Mancunians” were waiting for a face-to-face match between the clubs.
