Overview

• United drew 1-1 at Craven Cottage after Bruno Fernandes missed a first-half penalty, Rodrigo Muniz turned in an own goal, and Emile Smith Rowe equalised for Fulham.
• The club has one point from two matches, and its roughly £200m forward recruits—Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko—have yet to score in competitive action.
• Ruben Amorim defended starting Bayındır over Andre Onana, saying he picked the best players to win the game, as pundit Gary Neville highlighted fresh concerns over Bayındır’s handling on corners.
• Fulham protested the VAR-reviewed penalty awarded to United and were unhappy a later challenge on Calvin Bassey did not trigger intervention.
• Reports say United are in talks to sign Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens to increase goalkeeping competition, while Kobbie Mainoo is being linked with a possible move before the window closes.
