Manchester United XI vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday under significant early-season pressure to secure their first win of the campaign.

While there were promising signs in the narrow 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, with new signings connecting well, the result has left Rúben Amorim’s side pointless. A trip to face a resilient Fulham side represents a tricky but vital opportunity to get their season up and running.

Manchester United XI vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United team news

The most significant talking point is who will start in goal. Altay Bayındır deputised against Arsenal, but Rúben Amorim confirmed in his press conference that Andre Onana is now fully fit and “ready to play”. The manager remained deliberately coy on his final decision, stating “we will see in the game who is going to be keeper,” but Onana is widely expected to be recalled.

Further forward, a change is also expected to spearhead the attack. Benjamin Šeško made his debut from the bench against Arsenal and is now pushing hard for his first competitive start.

In midfield, the established duo of Casemiro and captain Bruno Fernandes will provide the core of the team. Amorim also confirmed that Kobbie Mainoo is training well and is in contention. However, the manager urged patience with the young midfielder, suggesting he will be eased into the team and noting that there are “phases in the season” for young players.

Amorim was handed a boost with the news that there are no new injury concerns, but he did confirm that defenders Lisandro Martínez and Noussair Mazraoui remain sidelined.
