The 2024/25 Premier League season will kick off with Manchester United facing Fulham at Old Trafford on Friday 16 August.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag, who has said that he is in talks to sign a new deal, will hope for a winning start after Man Utd finished eighth last season, their lowest in the Premier League era.
However, they face a Fulham side who stunned Man Utd 2-1 last season, with Alex Iwobi scoring the latest winning Premier League goal by a visiting team to Old Trafford.

Match Preview
Erik ten Hag’s second season at Old Trafford has been anything but a smooth ride, yet there could still be a happy ending in store for Manchester United. Sitting five points off the UEFA Champions League spots and buoyed by Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover receiving approval this week, the Red Devils are gaining momentum ahead of Saturday’s clash with Fulham.
Things looked bleak for Ten Hag when United won just two of their eight Premier League games throughout December and January, drawing two and losing four, but they have responded with a run of four straight victories in February. The last time that they played at least five league games in a single month and won all of them came back in January 2009 under Alex Ferguson (5/5).
They were tested by Luton Town at Kenilworth Road last time out, though. Rasmus Højlund’s quickfire double had United on course for a comfortable victory, but they came under severe pressure after Carlton Morris halved the arrears for the Hatters.
Højlund’s form has been instrumental in Man United’s turnaround, with the Dane scoring in each of his last six Premier League games (seven goals in total) after failing to net in his first 14. The only United player to net in more successive matches in the competition is their former Dutch goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had a 10-game run in 2003 and an eight-match streak in 2001-02.
