Man United are favorites to get the full three points in the opening match, but they have to be careful because Fulham could threaten the defense and try to score quickly. The opening match for each team is usually a surprise because they don't play as expected, but I am sure Man United will win the match. I want to see Yoro debut in the opening match but he is still injured so it is impossible for Erik Ten Hak to be included.
If you look at it, it is likely that the squad that will play will not be different from last season, so Man United's form of play will not change much from before. Erik Ten Hak's third season at Man United will require him to be better, when this cannot be realized it will be dangerous for his career.
In fact it is true, Manchester United are favorites to win their first home game this season.
I expect Ten Hag to really maximize the players in his current squad to secure the first 3 points in the opening match of the Premier League. I certainly wouldn't underestimate Fulham, but the probability of Manchester United winning is really convincing.
Rasmus Højlund, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro still appear to be absent from this match due to their fitness status. Leny Yoro is still injured and reportedly will be ready to play at the end of October, so he will be out. However, Ten Hag has many other players who can be played in this match, both in defense, midfield and attack. Joshua Zirkzee should be the best option as a center forward, but if his performance does not meet expectations then Ten Hag can rotate him in the middle of the match.
Manchester United is the favorite but usually does not live up to expectations. There is not much difference in the team from last season and that is why I do not have great expectations. I think we will watch a classic Manchester United. In terms of football, I think we will watch a Manchester United that will not satisfy again this season. Erik's impact on the team should have been discussed in previous years but the management decided to continue. I think we should not have any expectations from Manchester United this season either.
It is always good to start the league with points and it motivates the team. In fact, no team is fully prepared at the beginning of the league. Surprise results may occur in the first weeks.
