If we refer to the odds of this match, Manchester United is far superior to Fulham. so clearly, United has a big chance to get three points over their opponent. so, the first home match for United of course they will not waste. if I refer to the prediction of United's line-up it seems that Ten Hag will rotate some of his players because their striker is injured, instead Zirkzee will be the main choice as a center forward. I also see that Rashford will not be played as a starter, but this is just a prediction, it does not necessarily determine the truth. as usual, Ten Hag seems to be using the system he always applies. in the defense line, their two newcomers are predicted to immediately become starters. Casemiro and Kobbie are Ten Hag's mainstay pivots, the rest are Bruno and Garnacho. let's see, whether United will appear epic in their first match. moreover, this match was held in front of the Red Devil public.
Manchester United have no excuse to lose this game, the odds favours them, their squad depth favours them and most of all they're favoured by the home advantage, this is the beginning of a new season and starting it with a home game means their fans would come out massively to support their team, the last thing they need in that game is losing, not even a draw cause fans would be highly disappointed and all blames would be on Erik Ten Hag since he's the manager of the team, so I believe he'll pick his best squad and give them the right motivations to win this opening game. After what Rashford did in the community shield game against Manchester City, I think he should be benched for this opening game, Garnacho deserves to start, after scoring the in that match, it shows that he's fully prepared for this season, I'll prefer a front three of Garnacho, Zirkzee, and Amad, Mason mount ain't benching Bruno yet so Bruno, Kobbie and Casemiro would also start then a back four of Mazraoui, Martinez, De ligt and Dalot would do, with such line-up Manchester United would and are expected to win and probably with a cleansheet for to make their fans happier.
