With the 2023/24 Premier League season set to start next week, time is running out for supporters to select their Fantasy Football teams ahead of the opening match on 11 August.
When it comes to including stars from the English top flight, United players are a must. The Red Devils have some of the league’s best attacking players and also kept the most clean sheets last season. The Red Devils finished third in ‘22/23 and there’s hope at Old Trafford that Erik ten Hag’s side could better that in the upcoming campaign.
The Dutchman also has a year under his belt in the Premier League and has had a full pre-season to work with his team, unlike last year.
Meanwhile, United have a relatively kind start this campaign and face just one of the top seven from last season in the opening eight matches of 2023/24. The Red Devils begin with a home clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers, before facing Tottenham Hotspur the following week in North London.
But which United players should you choose in Fantasy Football? We’ve asked our football writer for his thoughts ahead of the new season, and he’s selected three players to include and three to avoid.
The below list is based on the Premier League’s official Fantasy Football game, the most popular version in the UK.
5. Marcus Rashford- Pick
A no-brainer. Rashford registered his best scoring season last term and will look to kick on again in 2023/24. At £9.0, he’s expensive, but should guarantee goals - and Rashford is listed as a midfielder in FPL.
6. Anthony Martial- Avoid
It’s not certain the attacker will still be a United player at the end of the window, and Martial just can’t stay fit over an entire campaign.
