Pundit Predictions: Who starts against Fulham?

Pundit Predictions: Who starts against Fulham?

Ruben Amorim is finalising preparations for Manchester United’s return to Premier League duty this evening against Fulham.

Another action-packed week for the Reds concludes with a trip to Craven Cottage, with kick-off at the unusual time of 19:00 GMT.

After returning to winning ways against Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday night, we will be looking to complete a league double over Marco Silva’s side by earning another crucial three points.

Ahead of the match under the lights in west London, we’ve been playing our popular United Predictions game alongside MUTV pundit Wes Brown.

Check out his full predictions below before making your own…

BROWN’S PREDICTIONS

United XI

Onana
Yoro
Maguire
Martinez
Amad
Ugarte
Mainoo
Dalot
Fernandes (c)
Garnacho
Zirkzee

First scorer: Bruno Fernandes

Man of the Match: Bruno Fernandes

Result: Fulham 1 United 2

Wes believes Ruben will make four changes from midweek with Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo coming back into the side. He expects Amad to remain in the right wing-back berth and Joshua Zirkzee to lead the line again.

Zirkzee will have fond memories of facing Fulham, after netting a late winner against the Cottagers on his Reds debut at Old Trafford on the opening night of the season.

Brown feels our captain will once again play a crucial role, backing the Portuguese to open the scoring and pick up the Man of the Match award. Bruno now has 20 goal involvements this season and has scored three times in his past four appearances in all competitions – including the stoppage-time winner against Rangers. 

Our former defender is expecting the same outcome as Thursday night’s Europa League encounter – a slender 2-1 victory for the Reds, on a ground where we have won on our last seven visits. Let’s hope we can make it eight in a row at Craven Cottage tonight!
