Looking to put their first Premier League points of the new campaign on the board this weekend, Manchester United will travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon when they meet Fulham.
While Ruben Amorim̢۪s men might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with a 1-0 loss at home against bitter historic rivals Arsenal, the Red Devils should take plenty of positives away from an eye-catching opening weekend performance.
Managing to snatch what was a sensational last-gasp equaliser away at Brighton last week, the Cottagers will be looking to collect a heavyweight Premier League scalp when they return to west London.
Ahead of Sunday̢۪s showdown from Craven Cottage, we have taken a look at the most attractive Fulham vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips.
Positives in defeat for United
While the Old Trafford hierarchy might have made it clear over the summer that they were backing Amorim, it is no secret that the former Sporting Lisbon boss still has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders in the red half of Manchester.
Suffering Europa League final heartbreak back in May as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at the hands of domestic foes Tottenham, United also had to settle for what was an infamous 15th-place finish among England̢۪s elite.
With no European adventure pencilled in for this season, Sunday̢۪s guests know that stability is key this time around and time could be against Amorim.
However, despite getting proceedings underway with a close-fought 1-0 defeat at home against Arsenal last weekend, United did produce an eye-catching performance and they should take plenty of positives away from their Old Trafford showing.
Landing a 1-0 victory when they travelled to Craven Cottage for a Premier League showdown back on January 26th, it should also be highlighted that Amorim̢۪s camp have won five of their previous six top-flight showdowns against the Cottagers.

Mbeumo looking to open his United account
While Manchester United might still be desperately trying to push Rasmus Hojlund out of the Old Trafford, Amorim̢۪s side has undergoing a major attacking overhaul this summer.
Alongside the blockbuster arrivals of both Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, many around Old Trafford were left hugely excited by Bryan Mbeumo̢۪s permanent arrival last month.
With the 25-year-old making it clear that his sole focus was on forcing a move to Old Trafford, United eventually agreed a deal that could be worth north of £70million with Brentford and many expect the Cameroon International to play a leading role in Amorim’s new-look attack.
Notching 20 Premier League strikes last season Рa career high tally Рonly the trio of Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland registered more top-flight goals and the former Troyes youngster has gained the reputation as one of Europe̢۪s most clinical marksman.
Excited to make a speedy return to west London this weekend, Mbeumo should be confident of testing a Fulham defence that has failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their previous 11 consecutive meetings against Premier League opposition.

Fulham looking for a heavyweight scalp
While Fulham might have opened 2025 in the midst of a real European scrap, Marco Silva̢۪s men largely failed to find any real fluidity over the final few months and they lost seven of their final 10 appearances across all competitions.
Despite mounting a sensational last-gasp comeback as they snatched a 1-1 stalemate away at Brighton last weekend, there has been some speculation that the former Everton boss is growing frustrated in the English capital.
Not really adding any new reinforcements during the summer transfer window, Fulham have the feel of a squad desperately seeking some kind of stability.
Hit with a 1-0 loss when they welcomed Manchester United to west London back in January, the Cottagers did show some extended issues at Craven Cottage prior to the summer break.
Signing off the 2024/25 campaign with a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Fulham lost all of their final three Premier League showdowns in front of their own supporters last season by an aggregate score of 7-2.
