Fulham v Manchester United LIVE: Premier League team news and line-ups as Michael Carrick under pressure

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 21 Premier League games against Fulham (16 wins, four draws), going down 2-1 at Old Trafford in February 2024.

Fulham are winless in their last 10 Premier League home games against Manchester United (two draws, lost eight) since winning back-to-back matches against them at Craven Cottage in 2009.

Man United have gone crashing out of the Carabao Cup in a 3-2 loss against Brighton, leaving them with just one domestic win to start the season.

Adam Clery analyses what’s going wrong at Old Trafford, asks if the blame can be placed on Michael Carrick, or whether the players have to shoulder more of the responsibility.

There are a few issues that Michael Carrick needs to juggle in his Manchester United squad.

Benjamin Sesko is a minor doubt with an undisclosed knock while Amad Diallo, Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte remain out.

Luke Shaw and Carlos Baleba have missed games with injuries but both could feature this afternoon. If Baleba does play it will be his debut for United since joining this summer.

Predicted Man Utd XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Tielemans; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko

Alvaro Arbeloa will be without the services of defender Kenny Tete who is recovering from a concussion.

Midfielder Ryan Sessegnon is sidelined with a groin issue and fellow midfielder Tom Cairney is absent due to a knee problem.

Predicted Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; Garcia

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of today’s Premier League action as Manchester United travel to Fulham with their manager under pressure.

Michael Carrick’s team have had a bad week following the loss to Man City in the league and then their exit from the Carabao Cup despite being two goals up against Brighton.

Still, the week can end on a high note if they defeat Fulham away from home and propel themselves up the table.

The Cottagers are bottom of the table and their own boss, Alvaro Arbeloa, is under pressure himself to turn around their fortunes. Can they do so with a strong win over Man Utd?
