Manchester United 3:2 Fulham

Post-match discussion


Sun, 01 February 2026

We were lucky to get that mf of a game over the line.

Why do we fall back Mourinho style to protect our lead? Just keep playing and attack please.

Where the absolute feck did they find 12 min of extra time. It was one var check for about 3-4 minutes..
 
Would have been a draw or possibly a loss under Amorim. Well done for Sesko to get the winner. We’re building confidence.
 
Fun game.

I fear for us if Casemiro picks up an injury. Ugarte is just such a downgrade.
 
Great result and I think we could be looking at chasing down Villa now too. If we’d beaten them at VillaPark (as we deserved to) we’d be above them now.

Feel we need to pull a central midfielder signing in the next 24 hours though to support the squad
 
Frustrating Chelsea won yesterday along with Liverpool but there is a definite bit of breathing room to 7th now…as close to them as we are villa (and city who have a game in hand)
 
I've said before. Forget the wins against City and Arsenal - it's the games against the so-called "lesser" clubs that will decide whether we are on the route back. And this was that sort of game. Last year, we lose this game, now we have the belief, the desire, the work rate. Forget the gainsayers - they will never be happy. This was another step forward.
 
Fulham were 7th before today and people acting like we should have just steamrollered them. They are a decent team. Tough win.
If they won, they would have been 1pt behind us.
 
Credit to Fulham. Their control and composure at times was really impressive.
A really good team, that was always going to be a tough, tough game. And we deserved to win it, just. But that's enough.

Maguire and Martinez have been superb. Bruno and Casimero too.. Luke Shaw.

Our experienced players are showing their quality and their maturity.
 
Oh please, it worked perfectly fine until Maguire had a brainfart and Fulham scored a worldie.
Did it though ? How many times did we test their keeper ? I dont want to spoil the mood now but will have to discuss this in next couple of days.
 
Big Ben to save the day! but draw was coming, playing like this away from home and dont get a single point. Well done guys though.

fecking outrageous it really was
 
Sad to see the Maguire of old out there today. Thankfully we pulled through. Great win for the lads.
 
Wouldn’t mind Silva after watching that, he’s got a very average group of players playing very well.
 
Brilliant! That last goal makes such a difference!! Without it it would’ve been that same old story. Instead, we’re feeling like back in the Fergie days when the final whistle (finally) sounded!
 
Ugarte curse. We desperately need a defensive mid as standards fall once Casemiro is off. Great we have match winners at the club which is a big positive.
 
Sesko deserved it after hitting the post earlier.
We left them too much space at one point. Carrick was shouting at them to "come out", but they didn’t.

Luckily, Bruno and Sesko were ready.
Three in a row. Not bad at all
 
That was like watching United of old. Drama. Love that we are not just scoring goals but are scoring great goals.
 
Very happy for Sesko. Deserved to score the winning goal, after scoring 2 previously but having to settle for a draw.

Amad was amazing throughout.

Casemiro is my MOTM. He will be difficult to replace this summer team lost control after he went off yet again
 
This.

Him and whoever the feck Hank is, are more interested in being right than enjoying the game.

There were comments in the top 4/5 race immediately after the equaliser saying “good while it lasted”
 
We were very lucky to win. It was a bit of the usual United out there, up for the big games like city/arsenal and then drop off in performance against average teams. We really need to fix this issue if we wanna go anywhere.
 
Very happy with that. Great win. Three on the bounce.

Struggled a bit in the middle at times and the tactics weren’t quite right but it’s the attitude I’m loving at the moment.

I think the tactics were ok. Just that Fulham were far better dealing with the press than expected. That exposed are key weakness...Casemiro recovering leaves gaps and Mainoo isn't the guy who's going to clean up. It very much reminded me of the 2012-2013 season. We made good penetrative passes from midfield, were good in the low block, but could still be hit on the transition at times. I think in games like this, we should still go for it (pressing wise), but in some other away games against teams good against the press, it might be better to take on the approach we used at Arsenal, at least until we get midfield reinforcements in the summer.
 
Carrick Ball is awesome
Yes, but almost fecked up by the Maguire tackle while Lammens was there. The whole formation fell apart after the 2-1. Then the worldie from Kevin, but luckily Šeško was there to slot it home.

Nice to see everyone so happy for him.
 
Not a great performance, as others have said. Delighted with the win though.
How are we going to replace Casemiro?! Amad and Bruno were good too. Maguire until the penalty.
Unfortunately I can see a loss coming soon if we keep performing like today. But still in the top 4!
 
Another extremely important 3 points.

Carrick doing a fantastic job so far.
 
Great result and I think we could be looking at chasing down Villa now too. If we’d beaten them at VillaPark (as we deserved to) we’d be above them now.

So many wasted points in that mad run v Leeds, Wolves and Burnley. 3 points from that run was criminal.
Even worse the loss at home to 10men for 80mims Everton.
 
Fulham are a good team, people shouldn't forget that. They're one of 5-6 mid-pack teams that can unsettle the big six. If we hadn't won we'd be regretting that missed header be Sesko and the moment of poor judgment from Maguire, but we played quite well I thought. Taking 4 points from Fulham this season is a good result.
