Manchester United Seeks Redemption Against Fulham in Premier League Clash
Manchester United faced Fulham in a Premier League clash at Craven Cottage on Sunday evening, with the match kicking off at the unusual time of 7pm GMT. The Red Devils, under manager Ruben Amorim, were looking to build on their midweek Europa League victory over Rangers, while Fulham aimed to continue their strong form under Marco Silva.
The game saw United make three changes from their midweek lineup, with Andre Onana returning in goal, Lisandro Martinez replacing Leny Yoro in defence, and Rasmus Hojlund starting up front ahead of Joshua Zirkzee. Fulham, meanwhile, fielded the same side that secured a 2-0 win over Leicester City the previous weekend.
United’s recent struggles in the league have been well-documented, with the team languishing in 13th place and having won just three of their opening 11 matches under Amorim. Fulham, sitting comfortably in 10th, were seen as favourites heading into the match, with their strong home form and United’s inconsistent performances tipping the scales in their favour.
The match was broadcast live on TNT Sports, with the unusual kick-off time necessitated by United’s Europa League commitments. The Red Devils had requested the later start to allow for more recovery time after their midweek fixture, leading to the game being moved to Sunday evening.
Fulham’s last victory over United came at Old Trafford last season, with Alex Iwobi scoring a dramatic late winner. However, United had won their last seven visits to Craven Cottage, a record they were keen to maintain. Despite their poor league form, United’s away performances have been slightly more encouraging, and they were hoping to secure their first away league win since their victory over Manchester City in December.
The match was seen as a crucial test for Amorim, who has faced criticism for United’s lacklustre performances this season. With the transfer window nearing its close, the Portuguese manager has expressed frustration over the club’s inability to bring in new players, citing financial constraints as a major hurdle.
