Manchester United's first away trip of the season has been chosen for television coverage, after the Premier League announced their latest broadcast selections.
Ruben Amorim's side's trip to face Fulham at Craven Cottage will now take place on Sunday, August 24, at 4:30pm with the trip to West London set to be televised on Sky Sports.
It means the match will be the second game in Sky Sports' 'Super Sunday' offering that weekend following the clash between Everton and Brighton and Hove Albion - the first match in Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Reds secured a rare away victory last season on their last trip to Fulham, as Lisandro Martinez's second half strike ensured they left the capital with a 1-0 win.

United's opening game of the season had already been chosen in the 'Super Sunday' prime time slot too, with Arsenal heading to Old Trafford for a 4:30pm kick-off on Sunday, August 17.
United’s remaining Premier League match in August remains unchanged, as they host newly promoted Burnley on Saturday, August 30, at Old Trafford at the traditional 3pm kick-off time.
As such, that game will not be televised live in the UK.
That will be United's final match before the September international break with September's TV selections set to be announced next month.
