Manchester United will visit Fulham with the goal of getting the first point of the new season. Before that, despite a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal, they still left many encouraging signals.
An opening defeat against a big opponent is unlikely to bring optimism to fans, especially when the "Red Devils" are used to the titles.
However, compared to their poor form last season, their performance against Arsenal showed clear progress in their playing style, spirit and ability to control the game.
However, the defeat to Arsenal means coach Ruben Amorim has suffered 15 losses in just 28 Premier League games (won 7, drew 6) This record is only better than Tottenham, who have lost 17 games in the same period.
The positive thing is that optimism has returned at Old Trafford, which has become rare for many years. Therefore, the away trip to Fulham in the second round of the Premier League will become an important test: has Man United really changed?
History is on the "Red Devils" side as they have won all eight of their most recent trips to Craven Cottage. However, Man United have never had a 9-match winning streak against a single opponent in Premier League history.
On the other hand, Fulham are eager to end a streak of 3 consecutive defeats at home - something that coach Marco Silva has never experienced in his coaching career.
The 1-1 draw with Brighton in the opening round, thanks to Rodrigo Muniz's equalizer in the 97th minute, showed Fulham's mettle. But at the same time, it also exposed concerns about their lack of breakthroughs in the transfer market.
