Manchester United are back in the Premier League action for the first time this season when they welcome Crytsal Palace to Old trafford. After missing out on Matchday one because of their participation in the Europa League last season.
Manchester United had a two-half season last season.
The last season was of two tales for the club. The pre-Bruno Fernandes era where they find themselves in mid-table fighting for European competition and the post-Bruno era is what all United fans will remember vividly and hope their club brings it into the new season.
Manchester United have rather enjoyed a quiet summer transfer bringing in only Donny Van de Beek despite being like with host of players and the Dutchman will be aiming for his debut this weekend in a possible midfield trio partnership with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes
Crystal Palace on the other hand has started the season on a good note, seeing off Southampton on the opening day of the new season and they will want to make it two from two, a feat the club have not managed since the 2006/2007 season.
The motivation they need is just around the corner as they defeat United 2-1 last season, their first win against Manchester United at Old trafford.
