Looks like Manchester united won't be able to take home this three points available in their first leg game with Fulham, I was thinking that Manchester united after their preparation at the pre-season games, that Fulham would have been an easy opponent team side to win, but seem they're finding it difficult to defeat Fulham at this point, and if this happens will be a very bad start of the season for Utd team if this game ended in a draw.

At last, Manchester United won their first game of the season, to be honest, Manchester United's performance has changed in this game, this isn't the worst Manchester United we saw last season, they played a fantastic game today, Zirkzee scored on his debut for Manchester United to take the three points in their first game, this is the result I've usually want from a striker, he did what he was brought to the club for, scoring the winning goal to save the team from sharing the points. However, the manager had to be careful in how he substituted some players, I'm not sure if Zirkzee was ready for this game, and Ten Hag left him on the bench in the first half and used Bruno as a striker; look at the chances Bruno missed in the first half of the game, I believe if it was a player used to the position, he would have converted them into goals.

If Ten Hag can be decisive enough to learn how to bench and utilize some of Manchester United's frontline players, about half of Manchester United's problem will be solved, making Manchester United have a better season than last season.
I see Ten Hag as one who has difficulties in making the right selection of players to be featured in a match. That's why he keeps having the wrong set of players in the frontline that won't deliver good results for the team.
I don't know whether Ten Hag needs to be reminded that there are players to play in a match and there are ones to bench because of the tempo of the match.
I just wish Ten Hag could learn how to bench Rashford, Mount, and Bruno for a while and tryna utilize the newly signed players more often to see how progressive the team can go with them in the premier league title race.
