Manchester United manager hails Ten Hag: De Ligt and Mazraoui primed for Fulham clash

Less than 24 hours until the Premier League kicks off, with Manchester United taking on Fulham at Old Trafford to start the season.

Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui joined from Bayern Munich only a few days ago, but may even start the game.

“They will be in the squad,” said manager Erik ten Hag.

“I think he will return in the short term, it doesn't take long,” Ten Hag added on the fitness of defender Luke Shaw.

“We are looking forward of course, Luke Shaw is a very important player for our team.

“He is massively important so we want to get him back as soon as possible but we can't force this process.”
