Man Utd take on Fulham at Old Trafford on Saturday, 24 February with the Reds looking to make it five wins in a row in the Premier League. Will United move closer to Tottenham and Aston Villa in the race for Champions League football or can Fulham pull off a shock win? Check out our Man Utd vs Fulham prediction below.
Match result prediction: Man Utd to win
Man Utd are enjoying their best run of form of the season after being bogged down by severe injuries and poor performances for the majority of the campaign. Although they have been dealt a blow with Luke Shaw's latest injury, we still think the Reds will have too much quality for Fulham at the weekend, particularly with Rasmus Hojlund in the form he's in. What's more, United have won seven of their last eight matches against the Cottagers.
Anytime goalscorer prediction: Rasmus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund has well and truly arrived. After enduring a difficult start to life at Man Utd, the 21-year-old is now scoring goals for fun in the Premier League. He has scored seven goals in his last six matches for the club despite still feeding off scraps for the most part. The fact he is scoring at this rate despite most of his goals coming from intuition rather than assists from teammates is a scary thought for the rest of the league. What is going to happen once things start to click with the other forwards?
Correct score prediction: Man Utd 3-1 Fulham
Man Utd's open tactics lend themselves to being hit in transition and Fulham are pretty good at moving through the gears. Rodrigo Muniz has proven to be a more than worthy replacement for the injured Raul Jimenez so we fancy the away side to score at the weekend, albeit it in a loss.
Man Utd vs Fulham team news
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Fulham
Man Utd have been dealt a blow this week with the news that Luke Shaw, who was forced off before half time against Luton, will miss the rest of the season with a leg injury. With Tyrell Malacia also injured, Sofyan Amrabat will likely play as a makeshift left-back. Other injured players in the United squad include Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Alejandro Garnacho could be given a rest due to concerns about the teenager's recent workload.
Onana – Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Amrabat – Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes – Antony, Hojlund, Rashford
Fulham predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Fulham's injury list is much shorter than Man Utd's which gives Marco Silva plenty of options. The only player unavailable for the Cottagers this weekend is Raul Jimenez so Rodrigo Muniz, who has scored four goals in his last three matches, will continue up front. Adama Traore could be in line for a start due to United's problems at left-back. His pace would cause serious problems for a makeshift left-back, especially with the space that the home side usually give opponents in transition.
Leno – Castagne, Ream, Bassey, Robinson – Cairney, Palhinha – Traore, Pereira, Willian – Muniz
Man Utd vs Fulham: What the fans think
United fans think Bruno should be rested
??BOLD OPINION:
Bruno Fernandes needs to be rested against Fulham, he looks tired physically and mentally. We need the best version of Bruno in the coming weeks. We can win against Fulham at home without him. #MUFC
