The 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off at Old Trafford as Manchester United host Fulham on Friday evening.

An eighth-place finish and an FA Cup final win were enough to keep Erik ten Hag in his job, but the pressure is now on for the Dutchman to show INEOS that he is the right coach to take the historic club back to where it belongs.

There were certainly signs in last weekend's Community Shield final defeat to Man City that this season could be brighter than the last, but an opening day victory would be the best way to silence the doubters.

Friday's visitors proved a real nuisance for the Red Devils in 2023/24, coming within minutes of a deserved draw at Craven Cottage and then beating them 2-1 at Old Trafford, on their way to an impressive 13th-place finish in their second season back in the Premier League.

Given the departures of key players like João Palhinha and Tosin Adarabioyo, steering clear of the relegation battle for another year would represent a successful season for the Cottagers, but Marco Silva and his players will have their sights set higher than that – something they'll be keen to make clear in Manchester.
