Sergio Romero looks set to start in goal for United after Louis van Gaal confirmed that David De Gea wasn't in the right frame of mind to play while the speculation over a move to Real Madrid continues.

Romero could be one of several new signings that van Gaal could start with in today's early kick-off at 12:45, with the likes of Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay all hoping to make their competitive debuts at Old Trafford.

In today's three o'clock matches…

Watford, Norwich and Bournemouth are all in action.

Norwich will host Crystal Palace at Carrow Road while Watford face a tough trip to Everton.

Bournemouth will begin their first season in the top-flight at home to Aston Villa

The other 3pm kick-off today is between Leicester and Sunderland in a meeting of two of last season's relegation contenders.

Meanwhile, champions Chelsea will begin their title defence this evening when they host Swansea in the late kick-off at half-past five.
