It follows a trip to Brighton on the first weekend of the campaign for Marco Silva’s side.

Tickets for the top three floors of the Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage have now gone on sale.

A seat in that area of the stadium will set one fan back £718.80 for the fixture.

The ticket comes with access to the Sky Deck, offering views of the London skyline.

Supporters can also choose from a variety of food and drink options, including canapes, bar snacks and sharing boards.

The luxurious experience is described as ‘another level’ by the club.

However, it is not a fixture which Fulham have had success in during recent seasons.

Their last home league victory against United came 16 years ago in 2009.

The two sides have met at Craven Cottage nine times since, with the Red Devils winning eight of those and drawing the other.

Meanwhile, last season’s meeting saw the visitors claim a narrow 1-0 victory.

Lisandro Martinez’s second-half strike proved the difference between the two sides back in January.

Silva and Fulham will be aiming to build on last season’s 11th place finish this term.

His side ended the previous campaign 11 points adrift of European qualification as they guaranteed a fourth consecutive top-flight campaign.

It has since been a frustrating summer for supporters, though, with Fulham yet to make their first signing.

Instead, three members of last season’s squad have departed the west London outfit.

Brazilian duo Carlos Vinicius and Willian both left upon the expiry of their contracts at the end of June.

Reiss Nelson, meanwhile, has returned to Arsenal following a season-long loan spell.

The winger could make a return to Fulham, though, with the club approaching the Gunners over a potential deal.
