Alright Reds, here we go again.
After the heartbreak at the Emirates, Manchester United are heading down to London to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage this Sunday.
And let’s be honest—this one feels massive.

Not because it’s a title decider or anything, but because we desperately need that first win of the season.

The new signings, the manager, the whole vibe—something has to click, and what better place than the Cottage?
Why This Game Matters
The Arsenal defeat still stings. We actually played some decent stuff but lacked the killer touch up front.
That’s exactly why we brought in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo.
We didn’t splash close to £200 million for vibes—we need goals, we need presence, we need swagger.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim isn’t hanging about.
The guy’s already said he won’t sit around waiting for players to leave before he strengthens the squad.
He wants to build, and quickly.
But you know how football is—ambition means nothing if you don’t back it up on the pitch.
For Fulham, this match is a chance to bloody our nose.
They’ve just nicked a 1–1 draw against Brighton, fighting till the very end.

That’s the kind of grit that can make life awkward for us if we’re not careful.
History’s On Our Side
Here’s something to smile about—we absolutely love playing Fulham away.
In fact, we’ve won eight straight league games at Craven Cottage.
That’s not just good, that’s record-breaking form.
One more win and we set a new club milestone. But records mean nothing if the lads don’t turn up.
Team News and Talking Points
Fulham
- They could be missing Antonee Robinson and maybe even Ryan Sessegnon.
- On the flip side, their new boy Emile Smith Rowe might start—and you know he’ll have a point to prove.
They’ll sit back, stay organised, and hope to nick something late.
United
- Big one here: André Onana is back. After Bayindir’s wobbly display against Arsenal, it feels like the No.1 shirt is his to reclaim.
- Sadly, no Lisandro Martínez or Mazraoui—two injuries that still hurt.
But honestly, all eyes are on Sesko and Mbeumo.
This could be the game where one of them truly announces themselves in red.
What We’re Expecting
This is where Amorim’s philosophy needs to shine. High press, quick transitions, plenty of chances.
Against Arsenal, it was half-there, but not ruthless.
Fulham will look to frustrate, counter when they can, and hope we fluff our lines again.
It’ll come down to whether our new-look attack can finally get the job done.
If Sesko bullies their defence, if Mbeumo finds space, if Bruno pulls the strings… we should be too strong.
Fan-to-Fan Chat
- Sesko vs Fulham Defence: Lads, this is the perfect stage for the kid to make a statement.
- Smith Rowe vs Casemiro: Don’t let him run the show—shut him down early.
- Onana back in goal: No slip-ups, please. We can’t afford jitters back there again.
The Vibe
Look, Fulham away isn’t the scariest fixture on paper, but that’s exactly why it’s dangerous.
It’s the type of game where United should win but sometimes overthink it.
Fans just want to see urgency, intent, and, honestly, goals.
If we come out sharp, get an early lead, and play with confidence, this could be the night things start to click.
If we don’t… well, get ready for a nail-biter.
Prediction
I’m backing us. Not saying it’ll be easy, but the lads have too much quality to keep stalling. I’ll go:
Fulham 1–2 United
