Why Man United Were So Much BETTER Against Arsenal

Fulham welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage with both sides seeking a first win of the Premier League season.

An encouraging enough performance in parts in their opening fixture nonetheless left Manchester United without a point against Arsenal as Mikel Arteta’s side snatched a 1-0 victory - heightening the scrutiny on an uncertain situation in goal for Ruben Amorim. The Manchester United manager decided to stick with Altay Bayindir between the posts despite his error which led to Arsenal’s goal and Benjamin Sesko starts on the bench once again.

It’s been a strange summer for Fulham that threatens to undermine some of the optimism around the Marco Silva era, with the manager increasingly frustrated by a lack of support in the transfer market to bolster his slim squad. A 1-1 draw at Brighton was far from a bad result, though, and they will relish a return to home soil as they try to get their season going properly.

Fulham's super sub?

None of Rodrigo Muniz’s first nine Premier League goals for Fulham were as a sub but seven of his last nine have come from the bench.

It is the most of any player since the start of last season. He equalised in the 97th minute of their 1-1 draw with Brighton last week.
