Manchester United host Fulham at Old Trafford in the opening game of the 2024/25 Premier League season, with plenty of questions still hanging over Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman is looking to justify the board’s decision to keep him on as manager, though a loss in the Community Shield to Manchester City was not a good first step in trying to do so.

 

 

 

The Red Devils have signed Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui since that loss, but questions remain over transfer targets and whether this window has been good enough to fix some of the glaring problems at the club. And Fulham have had a similarly mixed preseason, losing talismanic midfielder Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich but signing Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe for a club record fee.

 

 

 

The Cottagers should certainly have enough talent to stay in the top flight, but can Marco Silva improve on last season’s 13th-placed finish? Follow all the action from Old Trafford with our live blog below:

A huge chance! Bernd Leno spares his own blushes, an awful error in possession from the goalkeeper leaving him one-on-one with Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes gets cute, trying to banana a finish into the far corner past Leno’s right leg, but he starts the bend too close to the German, who thrusts out his limb and denies the Manchester United captain.

Manchester United build a bit of pressure, trapping Fulham in their own defensive third. It’s disappointing from Casemiro, in the end, skying a curling effort from distance, but there are signs that the hosts are beginning to settle into this unconventional shape.

Marco Silva remonstrates with the officials as a free kick fails to go Fulham’s way, Anthony Taylor talking the Portuguese manager round. Bruno Fernandes again finds the head of Casemiro from a free kick, but the Brazilian is once more offside.

Harry Maguire has had a couple of better moments, though. He wins a header above Rodrigo Muniz with calm and command as Kenny Tete seeks his striker at the far post.

Lee Carsley is enjoying a first outing as interim England boss, Gareth Southgate’s temporary (for now…) successor watching on from the stands. There hasn’t necessarily been much from messrs Mount or Rashford to suggest their England exile should be ended, though we are stiill in the opening jousts.

Much better wrangling from Lisandro Martinez, lassoing Adama Traore in full flow and bumping him off the ball with a sturdy, but fair, shoulder.

 

 

 

On the other side, Noussair Mazraoui has largely had a handle on Alex Iwobi so far.

A first sniff of goal for Manchester United. Amad Diallo’s delivery from a dead ball on the left is good but Casemiro is one of an over-eager quartet who are all offside as he strikes. His header failed to trouble Bernd Leno, anyway.

Rodrigo Muniz then gets his head to the corner, though his sardined teammates can’t free themselves to capitalise on a loose ball.

Kobbie Mainoo covers across neatly as Fulham look to spring a counter-attack from deep. Off goes Amad Diallo, showing a glimpse of his quickness but down much too easily under minimal contact.

 

 

 

That’s some effort – and some save! Kenny Tete surprises Andre Onana with a bending, dipping effort from 25 yards, the goalkeeper a little way off his line and thus retreating a touch. Onana has enough leap in his legs to get up to it and palm safely beyond the bar.

Erik ten Hag is in full suit and tie tonight, buttons done up on his jacket as he peers out of his technical area. That will displease him, Rodrigo Muniz thrown away like an unwanted garment by Harry Maguire, who is rightly whistled for a cheap free kick.

 

 

 

Fulham make little of it.
