Manchester United will be hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening game of the Premier League.
Ten Hag had an impressive first season, making the Champions League places, winning the Carabao Cup and reaching the FA Cup final and I am expecting them to build on that, and continue to improve.
It is going to be interesting to see how Rasmus Hojlund gets on at Manchester United, once he has recovered from his injury. He’s only 20 and £72m is a lot of money, but obviously they are buying for his potential as well.
We will have to wait and see how he and Marcus Rashford link up, and who will play where, but Erik ten Hag has obviously made a decision to go with youth rather than trying to sign a more established striker.
We are going to see them pressing from the front even more when Hojlund plays, and having Andre Onana in goal means they can play out from the back, something that didn’t always work for them with David de Gea.
I don’t see them as having enough to win the league, but they have made some good signings that fit Ten Hag’s gameplan.
‘I’m excited and confident’-Onana
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, speaking to Sky Sports: “I am very happy to be here. It is important for us to have a good start. I am excited and confident.
“We have so much quality, we have great players. I am here to do what the team needs.”
