Fulham's sensible plan punishes a fading institution with stubborn tactics | John Brewin
Briefly

The FA Cup match showcased Manchester United's struggles as they faced a more organized Fulham, whose manager Marco Silva capitalized on weakness in United's performance. Fulham executed a well-planned strategy that controlled the game, while United displayed a confused approach, struggling to adapt to their opponent's tactics. Silva's experience contrasted sharply with Ruben Amorim's tactical rigidity, indicating a broader issue with United's player capabilities and team spirit. The match underscored a significant decline in United's formerly glorious status, leading to serious questions about their future direction.
Fulham's strategy, effectively blocking the midfield and utilizing the wings, demonstrated a clear sense of purpose against an uninspired Manchester United, now lacking both players and identity.
Marco Silva's experience and tactical acumen allowed Fulham to regain confidence and control, especially after their previous FA Cup debacle against United two seasons ago.
