Neither team won on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 season, but both show encouraging signs. Manchester United narrowly beat Fulham twice in the league last season, while Fulham eliminated United on penalties in the FA Cup fifth round. The match is on Sunday 24 August 2025, 4.30pm BST at Craven Cottage with live coverage on Sky Sports and streaming via Sky Go. Ryan Sessegnon is doubtful; Muniz is pushing for a start ahead of Raul Jimenez and Emile Smith Rowe seeks more minutes. United may debut Benjamin Sesko and could recall Andre Onana after Altay Bayindir's error, with Noussair Mazraoui doubtful and Lisandro Martinez ruled out.
Neither side were victorious in their respective fixtures across the opening weekend of the 2025-26 campaign, but there should be cause for optimism in both camps. When the two sides met in the league last season, it was the Red Devils who triumphed on both occasions, but only by the slenderest of margins. Although, Marco Silva and company did have the last laugh by beating Man United on penalties in the FA Cup fifth round and will be looking to inflict more misery on Ruben Amorim's side.

Ryan Sessegnon is doubtful after missing the Brighton draw, but Muniz is pushing to lead the line ahead of Raul Jimenez following his goalscoring impact at the Amex Stadium.

Man United could hand a full debut to big-money summer signing Benjamin Sesko at Craven Cottage after the striker came off the bench against Arsenal.
