The new Premier League season is just days away and the hopes of football fans can be boosted or dashed depending on their opening day fortunes.

One side looking to make a positive start is Manchester United. After years of turmoil at Old Trafford, the English giants have turned to Erik Ten Hag, and they hope the Dutchman can emulate his success at Ajax by turning around United's recent woes.

United have been fairly quiet in the market but they have signed Christian Eriksen on a free transfer and remain interested in Frenkie De Jong.

Who do Manchester United play in their first game?
