16:30 Sunday
The Ruben Amorim new season revolution at Old Trafford got off to a losing start against Arsenal despite Luke Shaw’s comments that there were ‘no stragglers in the group anymore’ in pre-season.
Fulham, meanwhile, continue to punch above their weight and will be buoyed by their stoppage time equaliser against Brighton.
Both sides will be desperate to get their first victory of the Premier League season in what looks an intriguing contest on Sunday afternoon.

Fulham v Man United Bet Builder Tips
Oli Nixon's bet builder tips for Fulham vs Man United features Patrick Dorgu over 1.5 fouls committed & Matthijs de Ligt over 0.5 shots.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 3/1 with Bet365.
Patrick Dorgu Over 1.5 Fouls
Wing back Patrick Dorgu is involved in all things fouls and whilst he draws plenty himself, he’s also committed 1.73 per 90 in Premier League action. Narrow that down to away games and his average jumps to 2.2, landing this leg of our betbuilder in three of his last four. With Amorim’s system reliant on the Dane providing attacking width down the left-hand side, he’s often caught out of position and given no choice but to foul to stop counter attacks.
Dorgu will be up against Harry Wilson who has consistently drawn fouls across his career, averaging 1.71 per 90 from his opponents last season. On opening day, he was brought down three times against Brighton and now back to full fitness, he’s capable of causing Dorgu plenty of problems and forcing a few late challenges.
Matthijs de Ligt Over 0.5 Shots
With Amorim favouring a back three without Harry Maguire, there’s room for a centre back to become the focal point for set pieces. Luke Shaw lacks the height for aerial battles and Lenny Yoro’s average of just 0.39 shots per 90 last season suggest he’s not an ideal replacement. Step forward Matthijs de Ligt who took 0.76 shots per 90 last season and was clearly the target for first contact at set plays last weekend, firing off three efforts at goal.
Fulham conceded 11 goals from dead ball situations last season which has them in mid-table for that metric and on opening day they allowed Brighton’s biggest aerial threat Lewis Dunk to have a shot late on. More encouraging is the fact that United’s centre backs managed five shots between them across the two head-to-heads under Amorim last season with De Ligt having one in both of those games.
