United Hope for Season’s First Win at Fulham…
As Manchester United prepare to take on Fulham, the ghost of their opening day against Arsenal lingers like a misfiring lawnmower, sputtering but going nowhere. Manager Ruben Amorim knows there’s no room for sluggish starts if they want a trophy-less cabinet to look less barren this time around. Andre Onana, having missed out on the squad during the previous match day, is set to make a grand entrance like someone stealing the last piece of cake at a birthday party, after Altay Bayindir’s mistake that surely made headlines in the ‘What Were They Thinking?’ column. Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Luke Shaw make up the solid back three after their stellar performance last week.
United fans were on the edge of their seats like a popcorn machine waiting to pop when Amad made his dynamic entrance on Sunday. His impressive performance means he’ll start as right wing-back, while Patrick Dorgu takes the left side. Bruno Fernandes will manage midfield duties, and for a dash of speed, Manuel Ugarte swaps in for Casemiro, whose Premier League sprints look more like slow-motion montages. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will bring flair in the No.10 roles, ready to assist Benjamin Sesko upfront, who, while still adapting to England’s rainy weather, is tasked to conjure magic at Craven Cottage. Manchester United’s predicted lineup: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha.
