Craven Cottage hosts a battle of Portuguese tacticians this Sunday, August 24, 2025, as Marco Silva’s Fulham take on Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United in the second weekend of the Premier League season.
👊 "He's fighting."
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 22, 2025
Ruben was asked about Kobbie's involvement for the Reds in Friday's press conference 💬
The Cottagers salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw away at Brighton in their opener, while United were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Arsenal in a contest where their new-look attack showed promise but lacked a clinical edge. Kick-off is at 4:30pm BST, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Fulham enter this clash under pressure to turn around their three-game home losing streak in the league, something Marco Silva has never endured in his managerial career. Rodrigo Muniz’s late equaliser at Brighton kept spirits high amid transfer speculation, and the Brazilian forward will again lead the line.
Manchester United, meanwhile, can take confidence from their display against Arsenal, where Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha consistently threatened. While Amorim’s men ultimately fell short, history is firmly on their side: United have won eight straight Premier League away games at Craven Cottage, and could set a club record with a ninth on Sunday.
Both sides need a result – Fulham to avoid another home setback, and United to stop an early-season wobble – making this a potentially open contest.

| Draw + Both Teams to Score | +350 |
While Fulham will lean on home support and Muniz’s growing influence, their leaky defence could be exploited by United’s new attacking trident. Amorim’s side are unlikely to be flawless at the back, but their historical dominance in this fixture gives them the edge.
