"United went ahead through Rodrigo Muniz's own goal early in the second half at Craven Cottage, but they could not hold out for their first win of the Premier League season as substitute Emile Smith Rowe equalised for Fulham. United also saw captain Bruno Fernandes fire over from the penalty spot in the first half, his fifth missed spot-kick in the Premier League since his competition debut in 2020."
"Amorim's Premier League win percentage now stands at just 24.1%, with United only winning seven of his 29 matches at the helm. That is the same win rate as Neil Warnock achieved in his Premier League career (27 wins, 112 games), having been relegated with both Sheffield United and Cardiff City. United have also won the fewest points (six) of any ever-present Premier League club since the start of April, with Leicester City earning more in that time despite now playing in the Championship (eight)."
"I think the goalkeeper [Altay Bayindir] is still looking very shaky on those crosses from corners, which can't continue because that anxiety builds. Then in central midfield, I think United have to do a piece of business now. The two in there do get exposed. Those gaps, those acres of space, seem to open up, and I thought United got cut through quite a few times in the second half."
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage after Rodrigo Muniz's own goal was cancelled out by Emile Smith Rowe. Bruno Fernandes missed a first-half penalty, his fifth Premier League spot-kick miss since 2020. Fulham produced 0.81 second-half xG to United's 0.31 and repeatedly cut through United's midfield. Ruben Amorim has won seven of 29 league matches, a 24.1% Premier League win rate. United have accumulated six points since the start of April, the fewest among ever-present Premier League clubs. Gary Neville highlighted shaky goalkeeping on corners and large central midfield gaps exposing the team.
