Man United fans will expect a convincing start against Fulham, who clinched their win over them in 15 years in February.
The club has made big signings, but some feel there are still gaping holes in the squad, which could derail their season.
Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs De Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui have been signed to bolster the squad.
Still, pundits have raised concerns about the quality of the midfield. However, the club could sign midfielders before the window shuts.
Erik ten Hag's Man United vs Fulham team
In his first interview for the 2024/25 campaign, ten Hag said his team is not ready for Fulham.
"That team is not ready but the league starts. More managers have to deal with this problem, we definitely have this problem. But we have some rules, some principles, we have to make a start, can’t hide, we can’t run away from it, we have to deal with it," he said via Manchester Evening News.
The Dutchman said Luke Shaw will be back in action soon. Yoro and Hojlung will also miss tomorrow's game, while Maguire, De Ligt and Mazraoui will be available.
He also spoke about his selection plans.
"Issues are there but it's not about the players who are not available, it's about the players who are available. We have a good group, we can make a strong selection, we can put out a strong team and we will do."
Man United possible line-up vs Fulham: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Sancho, Fernandes; Rashford
