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.

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.
