Manchester United will kickstart the new Premier League season when they host Fulham at Old Trafford.
It is now less than two months until Erik ten Hag's side begin the new campaign and there is a growing list of issues to solve before they return to competitive action.
United are targeting record player sales this summer to help ease their tight financial situation, while the club are also in the market for a number of key additions. A centre-back is the priority addition and there is also a desire to add a central midfielder as well as a back-up option for Rasmus Hojlund in attack.
Other arrivals could depend on how much money they raise from player sales, with United chiefs wary of Financial Fair Play regulations as well as Profit and Sustainability rules.
With all that in mind, this is how United could line up when they take on Fulham in the first match of the new season.
