Manchester United vs. Fulham: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, kick-off time, team news and match statistics

The 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off on Friday when Manchester United host Fulham.

United will hope to improve upon last season's eight-placed finish, and their season ended on a high note when the team won the FA Cup over city rivals Manchester City.

So far this summer, United has boosted its defense with the summer signings of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Nouassir Mazraoui, but Yoro is out for a few months with a foot injury. The team also brought in versatile, technically-sound forward Joshua Zirkzee.

Fulham lost a key player in defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha, but the signings of attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe and center back Jorge Cuenca will help the team now and in the future as it looks to build upon last season's 13th-placed finish.
