Old Trafford will host the opening game of the 2024-25 Premier League season, as Manchester United play Fulham on Friday.
Erik ten Hag's charges kicked off their season with a FA Community Shield final loss to cross-city rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils will aim to improve on a poor season last time out.
On the other hand, Fulham will also be looking to elevate their performance after a 13th-placed league finish last term.
