Overview
- United drew 1-1 at Craven Cottage, with Bruno Fernandes blasting a first-half penalty over before an Emile Smith Rowe equaliser canceled out a Rodrigo Muniz own-goal from a Leny Yoro header.
- No United player has scored in the league this season despite an attacking outlay of about £200 million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, with Sesko again starting on the bench.
- Altay Bayindir kept his place in goal, with Andre Onana returning only to the bench, and Amorim said he selected “the best players to win the game.”
- With the transfer deadline approaching, local reports link United to potential goalkeeping moves involving PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma and Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens, reflecting uncertainty in the position.
- Scrutiny of Amorim’s rigid 3-4-2-1 and squad fit is intensifying, and separate reports suggest midfielder Kobbie Mainoo would consider a move if a suitable offer arrives before the deadline.
