Manchester United face a major test in Premier League action this weekend as Erik ten Hag’s embattled side head to Fulham.
Resounding losses to Manchester City in last weekend’s Old Trafford derby, and to Newcastle in midweek Carabao Cup action, has ramped up the pressure on the Dutchman’s position in Manchester.
Despite making sweeping team changes in between both games, Ten Hag’s squad are still woefully short on confidence, with just four goals scored across their last four league matches.
Fulham’s own form of one win in their last five Premier League games will give the visitors some optimism here but this matchup could be a crucial moment in United’s season if they cannot secure a win at Craven Cottage.
The Sporting News will be following the Fulham vs. Man United match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.

1 hour 30 mins to KO: In Fulham’s midweek 3-1 victory over Championship side Ipswich in the Carabao Cup, midfielder Andres Pereira made his 50th appearance for the club.
The Brazilian was excellent last season, but is yet to really get going this time around for the hosts. What better time to get just his second goal of the campaign then if he gets a start today against his old side?
