3 Must-Watch opening Premier League fixtures

#2 Manchester United vs Leicester City

Mourinho is increasingly frustrated with the lack of summer activity

Before the season even begins, Mourinho seems to be losing his patience with the board over the lack of summer signings. Fans are worried that he would not last long as the club's manager. His relationship with Anthony Martial has soured further as the Frenchman failed to return to training after heading back to Paris to witness the birth of his child. At the same time, Paul Pogba and his agent were said to be forcing a move away to Barcelona. With the lack of signings and frustrated players, Mourinho could have a difficult opening game against Leicester City.

Although the Red Devils overcome Real Madrid in their last ICC match, the team suffered a humiliating 1-4 defeat in hands of Liverpool. Going into the match against the Foxes, the home team has a few injury concerns. During the pre-season, the club suffered a triple injury blow and they may not recover in time for the opening match.

For the Foxes, their most recent friendly against Valencia ended up in a 1-1 draw. Claude Puel lost both Riyad Mahrez and Ahmed Musa in the transfer window. Jamie Vardy who had been in action with the England squad for World Cup 2018, could miss the opener at Old Trafford. After their amazing Premier League title victory under Claudio Ranieri, Leicester had largely been unable to regain their unbeatable form.

The focus would be on Manchester United in this match. A defeat would definitely anger Mourinho further and given his character, he could get into even more disputes with the board. There will be very high expectations of Alexis Sanchez who joined the club back in January. The former Arsenal player failed to impress the fans since his move and dragged his team down to often. If he would like to regain some reputation among the fans, he would have to be consistent right from the beginning of the match.
