Key Players and Historic Records at Stake…
Manchester United have a second chance to kick off their Premier League campaign with a bang this weekend against Fulham. After narrowly being defeated 1-0 by Arsenal at Old Trafford, the Reds are now eyeing a comeback at Craven Cottage. Ruben Amorim, who made some puzzling picks against Arsenal, is under the spotlight as fans wonder about the starting lineup this time around. Just imagine if the Manchester United lineup was crafted by a cat—it couldn’t be any more unpredictable! Benjamin Sesko, who was a benchwarmer at Arsenal’s game, might finally make his full debut and try to inflate United’s past goal count, which was as low budget as a flat tire at 44 last season.
Speaking of history, United are hoping to continue their winning streak at Craven Cottage. They’ve been on a London conquest since drawing with Fulham in 2010, boasting eight consecutive wins there. Another win could make their London trips feel as ritzy as a royal cavalcade parade! Fulham better watch out for Matheus Cunha, who has played against them like a chef perfecting a soufflé—beautifully ruthless. Marco Silva’s side faced their worst defeat last season against Cunha’s old Wolves team, and they’re likely keen to steer clear of another catastrophe. Meanwhile, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who once had an even scarier encounter with disgruntled fans demanding ticket price changes, could make an appearance. Maybe he’s secretly hoping fans will trade ticket protests for asking for autographs this time!
