Manager Erik ten Hag also had to juggle constant injury problems with the likes of Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire all spending time on the sidelines. Joshua Zirkzee, United’s other signing of the window and the potential solution to their goalscoring issue, was eased into the squad and played no part in their Community Shield loss to Manchester City, but De Ligt and Mazraoui may be thrown in at the deep end against Fulham. Further up the pitch, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro seem the first choice defensive midfield picks with Ten Hag probably electing to start with a false nine in Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount behind just as he did in the promising Community Shield display. But, for now, here’s how Manchester United are likely to line-up against Fulham if their new defensive signings start the game: Onana; Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Mount, Rashford; Fernandes
