Manchester United will look to get their first points of 2025/26 as they face Fulham on Sunday.

The Red Devils were beaten 1-0 at home by Arsenal on the opening day of the Premier League season, but despite the disappointing result, Ruben Amorim’s team were largely praised for their performance level given their miserable standards of 2024/25.

They will hope to build on that display against Marco Silva’s side, who started the new campaign with a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham vs. Man United live updates, highlights, and commentary

5 mins: Fulham push up in pedestrian fashion and De Ligt launches a pass over the top for Dorgu. There’s a bit too much on it and the wingback clatters in the side netting, but that might be something to exploit.

2 mins: Ooofff! Cunha enjoyed himself on this ground this season and fizzes a drive just over. Oh, and here’s the Brazilian again after fine work from Mason Mount, slots through Bassey’s legs and hits the post!

Kickoff

We’re underway on the banks of the River Thames

5 mins before kickoff: Here come the teams. Fulham have won only one of their past 19 Premier League games agaisnt United. Can they turn that statistic on its head today?

30 mins before kickoff: Ruben Amorim has been speaking to Sky Sports about the decision not to start Benjamin Sesko, who made his debut from the bench against Arsenal last weekend.

We tried to imagine what is going to happen during the game. Our team needs to be consistent in the way that we control the game and we need to have options to play a different game on the bench. Sesko has had two weeks for us, he is trying to understand everything. We need to wait a little bit to help the player. We just want to win the game and try to help all of our players.

1 hour before kickoff: Rodrigo Muniz scored Fulham’s last-gasp equaliser at Brighton last weekend and is rewarded with a start at centre-forward. Ryan Sessegnon also returns for the hosts.

1 hr 15 mins before kickoff: The teams are in and still no Benjamin Sesko in the United starting XI. He’s on the bench once more as Mason Mount continues false nine duties. Amad Diallo replaces Diogo Dalot in an attacking change at right wing-back. Altay Bayindir is retained in goal with Andre Onana on the bench.

Ruben makes one change to face the Cottagers 💪

1 hr 30 mins before kickoff: As weekends have gone for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, the one just gone was one of the better ones. Yes, they lost, which perhaps tells its own story, but United outplayed one of the best teams in the Premier League over the past three years and could feel aggrieved to have lost 1-0 to Arsenal. There were signs of cohesion and collective purpose, which have been sorely lacking during Amorim’s tenure to day. However, expectations this weekend are different. Rightly or wrongly, against a Fulham side who have been nobody’s fools under Marco Silva, played well but didn’t win won’t cut it.

2 hours before kickoff: Will this be the day Benjamin Sesko gets his first Man United start? The Red Devils could certainly do with a goal or two from their new striker.
