Manchester United will face Fulham at home in the first round of the new Premier League season. In the pre-match press conference, Erik ten Hag discussed the team's cohesion, Luke Shaw's injury, and his expectations for the new season.

Will Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui be included in the squad for the match against Fulham? "They will both be in the squad, and Harry Maguire will also be included."

The team now has many players to choose from. "The problem does exist, but the issue is not with the players who can't play but with those who can. We have a strong squad, and we can make powerful selections. We can build a strong team, and we will do so."

Luke Shaw will return after the international break due to injury. "He will return in the short term; it won't take long. Of course, we look forward to Luke Shaw's return. He is a very important player for our team, so we hope he can come back as soon as possible, but we can't rush his return."

Do the new signings need time to adapt? Will you stick to your familiar tactical philosophy? "Indeed, this is not the preseason, and we don't have 5-6 weeks to train a team. It’s very complex. We first went to the U.S. for a tour, then had players return from the Euros and Copa America, and now we've signed new players. We must build a team from this. That team is not ready yet, but the league has started. Other coaches are also facing this issue. However, we still have some space, some principles, and we must start taking action. We can't avoid this problem; we have to face it."

The team's goals for this season. "We know our goals and that we are moving in the right direction. We know we have already won two trophies and understand our style of play. Now we must integrate the new players and see if they can improve the team's playing style and elevate the team's level, and then start working towards achieving our goals. I always have high expectations for the team, and we want to compete for trophies."

Manchester United's improvement in attacking capabilities. "We know we have created many chances. The key is to stay calm, to be more composed. In the coming weeks and months, in both penalty areas, this will be an area of focus for improvement. We need a lot of goal-scoring opportunities."

What will Mazraoui bring to Manchester United? "We've always been looking for opportunities to solve the left side problem. For example, Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot can both play as left-back. Mazraoui is another player who can fill in this position as long as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are not in the squad. They have different styles, and I think it will be difficult for opponents to put pressure on him, especially in English football. This could be very beneficial."

How long will it take for Manchester United to get up to speed? "We've been training together for about 10 days now. It always takes some time, and other teams will face this issue too. At the start of the season, our goal is not to drop points, to train hard, and to practice what to do in possession and out of possession. We must train game by game to reach a higher level of performance. We will see how quickly we can complete this process."
