Fulham vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League match stream, latest score, goal updates and fan reaction
Fulham vs Man Utd LIVE PA Arthur Ferridge , Sports Reporter @ ArthurFerridge | Oli Gent , Sports Reporter @ oli_gent 5 minutes ago Fulham vs Manchester United LIVE
Manchester United make the trip to Fulham this afternoon looking to end a run of three games in all competitions without a victory. The pressure has piled on Michael Carrick after an unconvincing start to the new Premier League season, the Englishman’s first as United’s permanent manager having been handed the job on a full-time basis in the summer.
The Red Devils drew with Everton before losing the Manchester derby to Manchester City in their most recent league outings, and they suffered a premature Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Brighton in midweek with a disappointing collapse at Old Trafford. They will be hoping to rectify their situation here, against Alvaro Arbeloa’s Cottagers, who themselves have not won a league game under their new boss.
The west Londoners drew with Liverpool before beating West Ham in the Carabao Cup third round earlier this week, and they will be out to capitalise on any uncertain in the travelling ranks. Keep up to date with all the latest from Craven Cottage with our live blog below, with expert insight and analysis from Oli Gent at the ground.
39mins: United set up like a side who want possession just for the sake of it. On the ball they are totally aimless and static. They look lost.
36mins: Affengruber puts in an acrobatic block to deny Rashford’s potshot.
32mins: And it is another superb stop from Lammens! And again he denies King! A pacey counter from Fulham culminates in Iwobi passing for King, whose shot is turned away by the outstretched foot of Lammens.
31mins: Cunha’s long-range effort takes an awkward deflection which sends it looping awkwardly onto Leno’s post. The Fulham keeper gets fingertips to it and concedes a penalty, which Castagne deals with well.
Carrick is sat in the visiting dugout with a seriously concerned look on his face. It is all the hosts at the moment, with a barrage of attempts on goal, and Lammens to thank for keeping United level in this contest. It has not been a good opening half an hour, plain and simple.
30mins: The pace of play here is increasing at an exponential rate. Bobb is the latest to shoot wide - an opening goal cannot be far away.
29mins: Lammens makes another fine save to deny Berge! That has the home support fired up.
Josh King is having a field day picking up those small pockets of space between the United defence and midfield, ghosting into positions where Arbeloa would want him. That, there, is something he needs to add to his already exciting game, arriving in the box to add numbers and more of a goal threat.
Lammens keeps United on level terms! Iwobi dashes down the left flank before lobbing a cross to King on the far side. He shoots first time but Lammens is in the way.
27mins: United have improved considerably in the last five minutes or so. A bit more intent about them.
