Manchester United vs Fulham. Shape of the Teams

This clash, while not the headline-grabber of the week, shows a potential for goals. But who will score these goals is another question.

Manchester United enters this game on a wave of positive momentum after four victories and one draw. However, the same can not be said about Fulham.

The London-based team has demonstrated they can surprise top-tier teams, as seen against Liverpool and Aston Villa. Still, their lack of a decent defensive structure does not allow for higher targets than the Premier League’s mid-table.

Manchester United has remained undefeated in 2024, with their last defeat occurring in 2023. This unbeaten streak has boosted Erik ten Hag’s tenure, which had faced considerable criticism until now. While the team’s performance has been impressive, the tangible results, marked by four consecutive back-to-back victories, have been particularly satisfying for both the club and its fans.

Manchester United is currently sixth in the Premier League, only three points shy of Tottenham. At Old Trafford, the favourite is obvious. However, the squad must navigate the injury of Luke Shaw, with Victor Lindelöf tipped as his replacement at the left-back spot.

Another setback for the Reds is the injury of Rasmus Højlund, who will be absent for two to three weeks with a muscle injury.

Pick: Manchester United to win
Odds: -182 (Tonybet)

Despite the injuries of key players like Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martínez, and Luke Shaw, Manchester United’s concerns pale compared to Fulham’s, where Palhinha is absent due to a suspension.

Palhinha is a major game-changer for his side, offering stability like no one else can for Fulham. He leaves a gap that Fulham, and especially Pereira, who usually links up well with him, will struggle to fill. This means Manchester United’s attacking trinity – Fernandes, Garnacho, and Rashford – could have a little feast at Old Trafford tomorrow.

You’d expect United to continue their winning streak, especially with the roaring crowd at Old Trafford. More and more signs hint that Manchester United is well motivated, especially their forwards bring the much needed confidence, something that is lacking at the back.

The only player on Fulham’s side that I could see posing any threat to Manchester would possibly be former Everton player Alex Iwobi, who has developed as a well-rounded winger and is now Fulham’s potential ace.

However, with Palhinha absent, Iwobi’s threat will not be sufficient. Manchester United is likely to leverage the central areas of the pitch, turning them into a playground for their attacks.

Manchester United should be winning this comfortably – but I wouldn’t go as far as calling for a trashing. Instead, the confidence of Garnacho serves as a beacon of inspiration within the team.

In recent years, Manchester United has yearned for such a boost, which explains why the Argentinian forward, despite being criticized for his perceived arrogance, is seen as a positive light in the dressing room.

Furthermore, Bruno Fernandes is always criticized when things don’t go his way, with detractors often claiming he does not add enough to the team.

However, with the absence of Palhinha, he has never had a better opportunity to prove his invaluable role in the development and even survival of the team. If there’s anyone that could break apart the double pivot, it’s got to be the Portuguese.
