Manchester United's season opener against Chelsea at Old Trafford on August 11 promises to be an exciting encounter, with the Red Devils' new signings set to make their Premier League debut.
Despite a relatively quiet summer transfer window, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side has made some key additions, including Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The introduction of these new players is expected to bolster United's defense and provide a fresh attacking threat.
According to reports, the starting lineup could feature Maguire and Wan-Bissaka, alongside Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay in midfield.
Up front, Marcus Rashford is expected to lead the line, with Jesse Lingard playing in a No.10 role and Daniel James and Anthony Martial providing width on the wings.
However, the absence of key players such as Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera will be felt, with youngsters Mason Greenwood, Axel Tuanzebe, and Tahith Chong potentially starting on the bench.
David De Gea is expected to start in goal, with Luke Shaw playing on the left and Ashley Young warming the bench.
Eric Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah are the main injury concerns, while Alexis Sanchez is unlikely to feature as he recovers from injury.
