Erik ten Hag and his squad commence their campaign six days prior to their Premier League opener against Fulham, facing Manchester City in the Community Shield Final this Saturday.
Joshua Zirkzee might step in for the absent Rasmus Hojlund, though there are concerns about Zirkzee’s lack of Premier League experience. This could lead the club to introduce him gradually rather than starting him immediately.
United’s other summer addition, Leny Yoro, is sidelined due to a metatarsal fracture. This injury necessitates that Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, or Victor Lindelof partner with Lisandro Martinez in defense.
Recent reports suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team are attempting to derail AC Milan’s pursuit of Youssouf Fofana. According to Fabrizio Romano, Fofana is expected to leave AS Monaco before the transfer deadline.
United is intensifying their efforts to sign Fofana. Although a formal agreement with Milan hasn’t been reached, United is seizing the opportunity to lure the French international to Old Trafford instead.
Florian Plettenberg reports that United presented their plans to Fofana a few weeks ago and have recently re-engaged with his agents to negotiate a potential deal.
Fofana, described by StatmanDave as a ‘complete midfielder,’ participated in three matches during France’s Euro 2024 campaign and was an unused substitute in their semi-final loss to Spain, who went on to win the tournament.
