Manchester United Faces Fulham in Premier League: Key Points to Watch
Manchester United aims to secure their first victory in the Premier League this weekend.
After a close 1-0 loss to Arsenal in their season opener at Old Trafford, they seek to rebound against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Manager Ruben Amorim made several controversial selections in the last match, which sets up intrigue regarding his lineup against Fulham. Benjamin Sesko, who was a substitute against Arsenal, may make his starting debut.
Sesko’s Potential Full Debut
There’s a strong possibility that Benjamin Sesko will start against Fulham. Having made a short appearance against Arsenal, fans are eager to see him play from the outset. Last week’s first half featured a dynamic front line, and including Sesko could address United’s scoring challenges from the previous season, where they netted only 44 Premier League goals.
Hojlund’s Squad Status
Rasmus Hojlund may again remain absent from the squad, having sat out the opening match. Reporters are keen to determine if he travels with the team, although it appears he might be sidelined once more for this fixture.
Opportunity for Historical Achievement
Manchester United stands on the verge of achieving a club milestone with another victory at Craven Cottage, where they have maintained an impressive track record since August 2010. Securing yet another win would establish a new record for consecutive victories at this location.
Cunha’s Track Record Against Fulham
Matheus Cunha is another player who has historically performed well against Fulham, with notable contributions during his tenure at Wolves. His past successes could prove valuable in this upcoming match, raising questions about Fulham’s defensive capabilities against him.
Ratcliffe’s Anticipated Presence
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, based just a short drive from Craven Cottage, could make an appearance at the match. His previous attendance was met with tension from fans upset with ticket pricing, suggesting that while emotions might still run high, the recent backing of the team by Amorim could keep the mood calmer this time.
