According to Michael Owen, Man Utd signed the most intriguing player of the summer and will have the top young player in the league in 2024–2025.

The 2024–25 season is just a few days away from beginning, and Manchester United will play Fulham in the season opener.

This also means that preseason predictions are due, and not many pundits are prepared to take a risk and believe that Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will have a successful season.

Just three of the nine analysts, including former players, surveyed by the Premier League for their predictions for 2024–2025 supported Manchester United’s chances of finishing in the top four.

After United’s miserable eighth-place result in the previous season, this is not entirely surprising. Although there have been some changes to the roster, injuries continue to be a problem, especially at left defense where Luke Shaw is expected to miss the first few weeks.
