Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham in their latest Premier League match at Craven Cottage. Despite taking the lead through an own goal, United couldn’t hold on to secure all three points.
The opening goal came when Leny Yoro’s header deflected off Rodrigo Muniz into his own net, giving Manchester United an early advantage. United then missed a key opportunity to extend their lead as Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take a penalty but struck the ball high over the bar.
Just minutes after coming on as a substitute, Emile Smith Rowe snatched an equalizer for Fulham, finishing a cross from Alex Iwobi with composure under pressure. His quick impact changed the game’s momentum and left United frustrated.
Manchester United dominated possession and created several chances. Matheus Cunha saw efforts come close, and the team pushed forward looking for a winner. However, Fulham’s organized defense and sharp counterplay ensured they held on for a well-earned point.
This result leaves Manchester United still seeking their first win of the season. The draw also extends concerns over their finishing and ability to close out tight games. Manager Ruben Amorim will likely demand improvements ahead of the next fixture.
With only one point from two matches, Manchester United must regroup swiftly to maintain momentum in both league and cup competitions.
