Manchester United Ready for Fulham Test in Premier League Showdown
Manchester United hosts Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as interim manager Michael Carrick seeks to extend his perfect record in charge. The Red Devils have won their last two matches against Manchester City and Arsenal, propelling the team into fourth place in the Premier League standings.
Carrick’s side currently sits on 38 points, just four ahead of visiting Fulham, who occupy seventh place with 34 points. The Cottagers arrive at Old Trafford in impressive form, having won five of their last eight league games, including a commanding 2-1 victory over Brighton in their previous outing.
Zirkzee Expected to Feature
Joshua Zirkzee, the Dutch forward who has yet to appear under Carrick, has returned to training this week and is expected to bolster Manchester United’s attacking options. Zirkzee had missed United’s recent victories over Manchester City and Arsenal due to injury but is now available for selection.
Fulham’s Challenge
Despite sitting below Man Utd in the table, Fulham proved a stern challenge when the teams met earlier this season, holding the Red Devils to a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. The visitors will be looking to avoid defeat in both league meetings with United for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
Where to Watch
Where to watch Manchester United F.C. vs Fulham F.C. this Sunday: The Premier League clash kicks off at 2:00 p.m. UTC at Old Trafford and is available on Sky Sports. Man Utd’s unbeaten start under Carrick marks a significant turnaround following Ruben Amorim’s departure, offering hope that the club can secure Champions League football for next season.
