Here are our Premier League 2024 predictions for Manchester United vs Fulham. Manchester United kick off the new English Premier League season with the visit of Fulham on Friday but there are just as many questions surrounding the club as there were when the last campaign ended. An eighth-place finish in 2023/24 was United’s worst ever showing in the Premier League era. They had not finished that low down the top-flight table since 1990.

Manchester United vs Fulham Preview
Fulham snapped a four-game head-to-head losing sequence against Manchester United when goals from Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi sealed a 2-1 success in February this year and they have every chance of taking a point or three when facing the Red Devils in the opening match of the 2024-25 Premier League season. Erik ten Hag’s side redeemed themselves to an extent by winning the FA Cup, a triumph which almost certainly saved the Dutchman’s job. But a 38-game league campaign is the true test of a team’s quality – and United failed that examination last time out.
Manchester United vs Fulham Team news
Joshua Zirkzee won the Serie A Best Young Player award last season while at Bologna and scored 12 times in 37 appearances. He is expected to start due to the absence of Rasmus Hojlund. Casemiro gave away five fouls during his last two Premier League matches against Newcastle United and Brighton. The 32-year-old Brazilian also committed two fouls in United’s Community Shield defeat to Manchester City. Attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira has been one of the key players behind Fulham’s consolidation as a Premier League club and he can play a vital role in securing the Londoners a positive result at Old Trafford.
