Ashley Young heaps praise on Matheus Cunha and Casemiro’s chemistry following Fulham win | OneFootball

Manchester United may not have had the best day on the pitch, but they certainly did enough to defeat Fulham 3-2 in a close encounter.

While Man United seemed to be in the driver’s seat for much of the contest, they lost their two-goal lead in stoppage time, shocking the Old Trafford crowd.

It took a moment of magic from Benjamin Sesko to hand United the win at the death, with the home supporters erupting in jubilation.

Still, it was a combined effort from United’s attacking lineup to seal the win, with former United player Ashley Young picking out two stars for their admirable chemistry on the pitch.

A goal to remember

Upon reflecting on Matheus Cunha’s goal, which handed United a 2-0 lead, Young was full of praise for the promising winger.

“Yeah, it was fantastic,” Young exclaimed. “We’ve been talking about Casemiro’s pass.”

“The no-look pass…he’s got Brazilian flair. The way he’s playing with confidence. When you play passes like that, it comes off fantastically well,” the former United full-back continued.

It was undoubtedly a special moment from Casemiro and Cunha.

“The finish was unbelievable by Cunha,” Young concluded, making sure to praise both Brazilians for their efforts.

A tough encounter

While United came away with three points, which is clearly the most important thing, the hosts struggled to keep Fulham at bay.

Still, the team’s perseverance paid off, as they kept up the pressure against the visitors’ defence until the final whistle.

In the most dramatic fashion, this determination culminated in a superb winner from substitute Benjamin Sesko.

Thanks to this win, United remained solidly in fourth place in the Premier League, giving them a clear chance at Champions League qualification next season.
