❤️90+6': Man United hold on to get a big win! They defended really well in the game and needed some late magic from Bruno Fernandes to win it in the dying minutes. Massive three points to finally end a bad week for the club.
😍90+1': GOOOOALLL! BRUNOOO!!! 1-0! The captain shows great composure in tricking multiple players with a few fake attempts before slotting a shot into the bottom corner. Great work from Pellistri to keep the play alive before the goal too. Get in!
SantaGetOutClause: "Thank fuck for that. Now VAR, it’s your time to find something to disallow it for."
UtdPlug: "Pellistri showing the desire to put a shift in, we need more of that. So happy for him!"
😑83': Bruno's powerful free-kick attempt is parried away and the Red Devils unable to do much after that.
Hyperion262: "There’s a goal here if we can keep this pressure up. Mount with the assist, I’m calling it."
🔃79': Changes from Man United as Mount and Martial replace Eriksen and Hojlund.
AstJr: "Why wait until the 80 minutes to change the team???"
🙄70': Bit strange how Maguire hasn't been taken off yet as he still doesn't seem fully right after that clash of heads early on.
💬Bigmomma_pump: "Jesus Christ, varane is on the bench, if there’s doubts from doctors TAKE HIM OFF."
🔃SUB: Facundo Pellistri replaces Antony.
🕕 61' Onana produces a great save to deny Wilson. The home side look far more superior right now.
💬 themarcoliboy: "United players rated in first half vs Fulham."
💬 BongoIdeas: "What does Antony add to Manchester United? Can’t dribble, can’t cross, can’t score; £82m in the drain! Biggest flop!"
💬 TheElitePundit: "Man Utd have a CF and don’t put the ball in the box. They will then sub Hojlund and start crossing when Martial is on the pitch."
🕕 51' Few bright moments from Garnacho there, who created a chance and also tested the Fulham defence. Unfortunately, nothing came off it.
🕕 45' Second half resumes.

⚫ HALF-TIME!
🕕 43' Could we have half-time already? 🙏
🕕 35' Antony wastes a good chance and so does another effort involving Hojlund and Fernandes. This is turning out to be a real low-energy game.
💬 BengtEpperlein: "Wan-Bissaka is back Imagine when all the defence four is back We will see a whole different build up attacking squad So we have to have patience with the team until then."
💬 UncleWilson: "Wan-Bissaka is just too good."
🕕 29' Speaking of full-backs, Dalot has down well for himself at left-back. He thwarted danger twice - once when Wilson was unmarked in the box followed by another one.
🕕 23' Good work from Wan-Bissaka to make a block to deny Willian from getting towards the goal. However, it's clear that he's been away for a while, he's not as sharp as usual.
💬 ForeverFooty: "What is Antony doing? He's actually a terrible baller."
💬 Sir_kay: "What is Antony good at? They really signed this brother for 100m."
💬 Kwadwo Sheldon: "How is Antony a footballer? How?"
🕕 18' Antony gets a dose from Bruno Fernandes, who blasted the winger for trying to do a trick and losing the ball in the process. Wasteful.
💬 UnitedStandMUFC: "If that's any other side VAR don't even look at it. The agenda against us is ridiculous."
💬 AlternativeMUFC: "I'm genuinely lost for words. VAR is an absolute disgrace."
💬 Jack Fawcett: "The catalogue of wrong decisions against us this season after 10 GAMES AND 12 MINUTES is ridiculous. Fuck VAR."
💬 UTDTrey: "VAR will do anything to screw over Man United."
🕕 12' Tensions on the rise after VAR disallows Man United's opening goal due to Maguire being offside when he played the ball in the build-up. Scott McTominay looks absolutely livid.
🕕 4' Maguire resumes play after undergoing treatment on the field for a severe knock to the face. There appears to be visible swelling. Perhaps risking him now isn't the best choice...
🕕 0' Things are underway at Craven Cottage.
🏁 AAND WE KICK-OFF!
🗣️ The boss explains his selection
Erik ten Hag: "It starts with the team spirit, bring it on the pitch from the first whistle and then make it our game, so put the principles in the game, do the hard work and do it together. We have to find a way to win.
"When you see the performances, they have not been good enough, but don't look back. Of course, we can take the lessons, but we look forward. I don't think about week [biggest of his United tenure], I think about this game and it's all about that.
"Get the right focus, that is a demand on the players, the coaches and the manager."
