Fulham vs. Manchester United Match Preview: Everything You Need to Know

London, England –  Manchester United will be looking to secure their first win of the Premier League season when they visit Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils produced a solid performance in their narrow 1–0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend and arguably deserved more from a tightly contested match. However, wastefulness in front of goal under Ruben Amorim continues to be a concern, as United suffered yet another setback at Old Trafford.

This weekend, United will hope to replicate the performance — but with a better result — at one of their favourite Premier League hunting grounds. They’ve won on each of their last eight visits to Craven Cottage and managed a 1–0 victory there last season despite their domestic struggles.

Fulham, meanwhile, showed great resilience in their 1–1 draw with Brighton last weekend, with Rodrigo Muniz scoring a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser. After a strong pre-season, the Cottagers will aim to build momentum and add further pressure on the Manchester side.

Match Prediction

Manchester United impressed despite their opening loss and will take confidence into Sunday’s clash. Historically, they’ve dominated at Craven Cottage and now boast an attack capable of consistently threatening defenses.

Fulham will undoubtedly present a tough challenge — they’ve beaten United in two of their last three visits to Old Trafford — but they tend to falter at home against the Red Devils.

Expect a tight contest, but United’s firepower could be the difference once again.
