Marco Silva, the manager of Fulham, spoke to Sky Sports ahead of their match against Manchester United, expressing confidence despite the team’s history of struggling against the opposition. Fulham have only won 15 out of 91 previous encounters with Manchester United, with just two wins at Old Trafford in the last 50 years. However, they did secure a win against them six months ago.
Silva highlighted the need for new signings to make an impact, with the team making three signings so far. He praised Emile Smith Rowe, a new addition to the team. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag also expressed optimism for the new season, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and a good start.
Manchester United fielded their new right-back Noussair Mazraoui for his full debut, while Fulham had Emile Smith Rowe making his first appearance in their starting XI. The teams for the game were confirmed, with both clubs having new signings on their bench.
The stage was set for the match as fans eagerly anticipated the start of the Premier League season. Kick-off was scheduled for 8 pm BST, with excitement building among supporters for the return of top-flight football action.
