FIRST HALF
In the eighth minute, Manchester United received the right to take a free kick. Eriksen crossed into the penalty area of Fulham, and there the ball was played by Garnacho, who sent it parallel to the goal line. McTominay put the ball into the net, but the goal was later disallowed due to Maguire’s interception of the cross.
In the 16th minute, there was a great chance for the “cottagers”. The hosts mounted a wonderful attack that ended with Muniz’s shot but it was saved by Onana. It subsequently became clear that the attacker of Londoners had been ambushed.
COMPOSE
Fulham: Leno, Castan, Bassey, Ream, Robinson, Palnia, Ioubi, Wilson, Pereira, Willian, Muniz
Manchester United: Onana, Maguire, Evans, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, Garnacho, Hoylund
BEFORE THE DUEL
Erik ten Hag is under pressure as Zinedine Zidane’s name emerges as a possible replacement at the club. United ended their Carabao Cup title defense with a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Wednesday. It was the same result that saw Manchester City emerge victorious in the Old Trafford derby last Sunday.
On the other hand, Marco Silva’s men progressed to the cup after a 3-1 win at Ipswich Town, with Fulham drawing 1-1 with Brighton in their previous Premier League game.
Casemiro picked up another injury in the defeat at Newcastle and the Brazilian returned to the injured Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez. And Jaden Sancho is out for internal disciplinary reasons. Raphael Varane is also a doubt after missing the cup tie through illness.
