What are Man United's chances of Premier League glory before the season gets underway today.
Manchester United and Fulham are set to kick off the 2024/25 Premier League season tonight at Old Trafford, with the match starting at 20:00 BST.
After enduring their worst finish in club history last year, where they ended in a disappointing eighth place, Erik ten Hag faced scrutiny from the club’s new owners, INEOS, who were rumored to be considering a change in management.
Despite the pressure, the Dutchman has been given a second chance and has received significant backing from the club, with around £150 million already spent in the transfer window.
With key signings like Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, and Noussair Mazraoui joining the squad, expectations are high for Manchester United as they aim to make a strong comeback this season and put last year's underwhelming performance behind them.

Bookmakers have little faith in Ten Hag's Manchester United securing a Premier League victory this season, giving them just a 3.8% chance at odds of 25/1 at Sky Bet.
Instead, all eyes are on their neighbors, Manchester City, as they chase their fifth consecutive Premier League trophy and seventh overall in the Pep Guardiola era.
It's been 11 years since United last lifted the Premier League trophy, but INEOS and Jim Ratcliffe have shown strong intentions this summer by reshuffling the backroom staff and making strategic signings.
