The opening match is usually very important to win because it will give the team confidence in starting the season. So I think this match will be won by Man United, especially as we know this match will be played in front of their own supporters, of course this will be the reason why Man United is favored to win in the first match.
I also think Manchester United should be able to win the match, but no one knows how they are both going to perform in the match since it’s the first match of the season, and Fulham which people think are the weak team, will also do everything in their power to at least start the season with a win. So let’s just see how they both are going to perform in the match today, but from the way Manchester United played in the pre season matches, even though their performance wasn’t so good, they should be able to beat Fulham in today’s match.
Moreover, this season Man United has brought in several new players. Especially in the defense line such as Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui, as well as striker Joshua Zirkzee.
One of the problems Manchester United had last season was weak defense, their opponents were just penetrating their defense easily, so I like the way Ten Hag is trying to build his defense.
