Man Utd have flown to the United States for their pre-season tour, which will prepare the players for the new season.

United welcome Fulham to Old Trafford on August 16 for the opening game of the Premier League campaign and Erik ten Hag will be hopeful his team starts the season brightly.

United want to sign a new midfielder, someone who can play as a No.6, and they are open to signing a left-back due to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia's poor injury records. The squad is bound to be different when the transfer window slams shut on August 30, but what could Ten Hag's starting XI look like for the opening game of the season? There are still pre-season fixtures and the Community Shield to play, but it's interesting to ponder the team.

Although who starts alongside Martinez in central defence is up for debate, the early expectation is that Yoro will play against Fulham. The 18-year-old was signed in a deal worth €70m and Ten Hag, speaking last weekend, said he was bought to play. Harry Maguire was brilliant for United last season and would be the safe option to start on the opening day, so it's down to Yoro to continue to show his quality in training.

The attack of Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford will pick itself. Those three players demonstrated potential as a trio last season, but there's an outside chance that Amad will force his way into the side by delivering strong performances in pre-season.
