Everything you need to know to watch Manchester United take on Fulham in the first English Premier League match of the season.

The 2024-25 English Premier League season begins on Friday when Manchester United plays host to Fulham.

Man U is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 campaign that saw the team end eighth in the EPL table, the team’s lowest finish since it placed 13th back in the 1989-90 Football League First Division campaign. That’s right–the team is coming off its worst season since before the debut of the Premier League.

As for Fulham, the team placed 13th last season, scoring 47 points over the course of the season. The team has bounced between the Premier League and the Championship in recent years, but this season marks the third consecutive top flight campaign for the team. It hasn’t had a run that long since it was relegated after the 2013-14 season, which ended a 13-year run in the Premier League.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United: How to watch FA Community Shield, live stream

The English season gets underway with a rematch of last season’s FA Cup final

Manchester City and Manchester United will face off in the Community Shield on Saturday as the English season gets underway.

The Manchester derby will feature 2023-24 Premier League champion City against the reigning FA Cup winner United.

The Red Devils won that FA Cup against none other than City, defeating Pep Guardiola’s side 2-1 in a shocking result at Wembley in May.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch FA Community Shield on ESPN+” link=”https://go.web.plus.espn.com/Y9KaQm”]

Both teams went on preseason tours of the United States, which ended earlier this week. City only managed one win in four matches, while United won once in three outings.

The Red Devils also saw two key players go down with injury during the tour, as Leny Yoro (foot) is out for three months and Rasmus Højlund (hamstring) will miss a month.

Both teams were at less than full strength on their U.S. tours, and will be closer to their best with a number of players returning from summer breaks ahead of the Community Shield.

Manchester United doesn’t give a fig about its women’s team

The list of indignities seemingly grows by the day

There’s been plenty of attention on what Sir Jim Ratcliffe said recently about Manchester United’s women’s team, but perhaps not enough focus on one small element of it.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, United’s new co-owner Ratcliffe was asked if he would consider spinning off his women’s team to a new owner.

“We haven’t got into that level of detail with the women’s football team yet,” he said. “We’ve been pretty much focused on how do we resolve the first-team issues in that environment, and that’s been pretty much full time for the first six months.”

That Ratcliffe seems to have done zero planning when it comes to the women’s team has been rightly criticized, but perhaps the most troubling element of his answer comes from his usage of “first team” as a shorthand for the men’s team.

Manchester United has two first teams: the men’s first team and the women’s first team. To Ratcliffe, there seems to be only one. That isn’t too surprising to anyone who’s paid attention to how United has treated its women’s team over just the past six weeks.

Last month, Manchester United cancelled its traditional end-of-season awards dinner, which was scheduled for May 20, to avoid any potential distractions for the men’s team in the FA Cup final on May 25.

The problem? That awards dinner was for the men’s and women’s team. To make matters worse, nobody at the club even bothered to tell the women about the cancellation. Instead, they found out the way everybody else did: by reading a report in The Athletic.

This week, another indignity: The women’s team is being evicted from their training facility next season to make way for the men, whose own facility is undergoing a £50 million renovation.

Not to worry, though: There will be temporary cabins set up for the women to use for the entirety of the 2024-25 season.

Things have gotten so dire that The Athletic reported the Professional Footballers’ Association is ready to intervene on the players’ behalf.

Unsurprisingly, some of United’s key players aren’t sticking around to see how that process shakes out.

Just this week came the news that Mary Earps is set to leave for PSG, Nikita Parris is expected to depart, Lucía García has signed with Liga MX side Monterrey, while captain Katie Zelem also confirmed her departure.

When the topic of her future came up last month, England goalkeeper Earps told Sky Sports that her decision came down to what kind of plan her current side could provide her.

“I’ve asked the club for some confirmation on what they’re trying to achieve and when I have those answers I’ll be able to make a decision,” she said. “It’s up to the club.”

One month later, she’s on her way out the door. If United continues down the road it’s traveling, there will be even more following her.

Ten Hag: If Man United doesn’t want me, I’ll go win trophies somewhere else

The manager was in a defiant mood after leading Man United to the FA Cup title

After winning a FA Cup title one day after reports he would be sacked, Erik ten Hag was in a buoyant mood. It was hard to blame him.

Just hours after The Guardian reported that the Manchester United manager would be sacked regardless of whether he pulled off an FA Cup final upset, Ten Hag’s side did just that, stunning Manchester City 2-1 in Saturday’s clash at Wembley.

Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored for the Red Devils, who stunned their arch-rivals in the final game of the season.

After the match, Ten Hag was defiant when confronted with the report that his time at the club was done.

“Two trophies in two seasons and three finals,” he said. “It’s not that bad. If they don’t want me, I’ll go somewhere else to win trophies, because that’s what I’ve done all throughout my career.”

Ten Hag led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League last season, his first in charge of the team. This year, though, the Red Devils only managed to finish eighth.

But as the Dutch manager mentioned, he has been hugely successful in domestic cup competitions. United won the Carabao Cup last season, beating Newcastle in the final. The Red Devils also reached the FA Cup final in 2022-23, falling to Man City.

One season later though, United got its revenge against its biggest rival in the final.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United: How to watch FA Cup final, live stream

The cup final will be a Manchester derby for the second straight year

It will be a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final, as City looks to complete a double and United looks to salvage another disappointing season.

It is a rematch of last season’s FA Cup final, which City won en route to clinching a treble.

City clinched the Premier League title yet again last weekend, while United only managed an eight-place finish.

United will need to win the match to qualify for the Europa League next season, or else there will be no European soccer at Old Trafford in 2024-25.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch the FA Cup on ESPN+” link=”https://go.web.plus.espn.com/Y9KaQm”]

United will go into Saturday’s match at Wembley as major underdogs, and also with the knowledge it appears likely to be Erik ten Hag’s last game in charge — regardless of the result.

The Guardian reported on Friday that the Dutch manager will be sacked following the game, after two underwhelming years at the helm.

City will enter the match with a mostly clean bill of health, though Stefan Ortega is set to start at goalkeeper with Ederson injured. United will be missing Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire while Mason Mount, Victor Lindelöf and Anthony Martial will be late calls.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Incoming USWNT boss Hayes signs off from Chelsea with WSL title

The Blues hammered Manchester United to seal a fifth straight championship

Emma Hayes is leaving Chelsea as a champion — yet again.

The incoming U.S. women’s national team manager clinched a Women’s Super League title with Chelsea on Saturday, hammering Manchester United 6-0 on the season’s final day.

Mayra Ramírez opened the scoring just two minutes in, and completed her brace just before halftime as the Blues cruised past the Red Devils.

Chelsea entered the last round of WSL fixtures level on points with Manchester City and holding a two-goal advantage on goal differential.

As the Blues won at Old Trafford, Man City also won 2-1 at Aston Villa. But the margin of victory wasn’t enough for Gareth Taylor’s side, which finished as runner-up yet again.

It was a fifth straight WSL title for Chelsea and Hayes, further cementing their status as the dominant force in the competition’s history.

Overall, Hayes has won seven WSL titles to go along with nine other trophies.

Hayes will now fully turn her attention to the USWNT after she was originally named as Vlatko Andonovksi’s successor back in November.

The 47-year-old will soon take charge of her first USWNT camp, as she attempts to navigate a tight timeline ahead of the Olympics in July.

Hayes will coach her first two USWNT matches against South Korea on June 1 and June 4.

There was one potential piece of bad news for Hayes on Saturday, as USWNT star Catarina Macario limped off in the first half of the game.

[lawrence-related id=71649,65217,56119]

USWNT star Macario comes off with injury for Chelsea

This could be a major headache for the USWNT

Chelsea forward Catarina Macario was forced off with an injury in the season’s final match at Manchester United.

Macario went down in the first half as she appeared to be favoring a thigh issue that had been taped up.

The U.S. women’s national team star attempted to play through the issue but after a few minutes, she was forced off in a 41st-minute substitution.

Macario’s injury could be a major worry for the USWNT depending on the severity, with the Olympics kicking off in two months.

The 24-year-old only returned in March from a torn ACL that kept her sidelined for the better part of two years.

Chelsea would win the match 6-0, sealing a fifth straight WSL title in Emma Hayes’ final game before she takes over as USWNT head coach. In a potentially positive sign, Macario could be seen joining in the celebrations at the full-time whistle.

The injury could jeopardize Macario’s availability for Hayes’ first USWNT camp, with the team facing two matches against South Korea on June 1 and June 4.

Following those matches, the USWNT will gather its Olympic roster together for send-off games against Mexico on July 13 and Costa Rica on July 16.
