- Fulham already without Brazilian winger Willian
- Bernd Leno with a great performance
Manchester United is already suffering from a rather large blight at the beginning of the season. As in the Community Shield, Shaw, Malacia or Hojlund could not intervene. So Bruno Fernandes stepped in at the tip of the attack.
Fulham, on the other hand, can no longer rely on the services of Brazilian winger Willian. The management of the West London team did not agree with the player on the extension of the contract. The Brazilian became a free agent.
The guests entered the match more actively, the fast-footed Adama Traoré annoyed the opponent on the right wing. However, the already mentioned Bruno Fernandes got the first big opportunity in the 29th minute.
The experienced German goalkeeper was able to correct his faulty pass and made a reflexive save. The Portuguese representative had a great chance five minutes later, but again failed at the visiting goalkeeper.
So the cabins were left without a gate. The second half was opened by Mason Mount’s great opportunity, but the English midfielder did not add his second league goal in the Red Devils jersey.
The following minutes took place mainly in the space between the two penalty boxes. The home team gradually took the reins of the match into their own hands and chased for a three-point win.
At the end of the 87th minute, a packed Old Trafford got its first goal. Garnach’s center found Zirkzee in the penalty area, who opened his goal account in Manchester United. The Dutch coach Erik ten Hag could rub his hands, because it was an action of two alternating players.
Manchester United thus experienced a successful entry into the new season of the Premier League. Andre Onana claims a clean sheet, but the opposing players did not check him much.
