Team came out ahead, but could not support the advantage against Fulham; Bruno Fernandes lost a penalty
The yet has not been able to gear on. This Sunday (24), the team drew 1-1 with Fulham, away from home, and adds only one point in two rounds, occupying the bottom of the table. After the defeat to Arsenal in the debut, Ruben Amorim’s team took the field pressed. Bruno Fernandes lost a penalty in the first half, but the “Red Devils” opened the scoring 13 minutes into the final stage, when Rodrigo Muniz deflected against his own goal after defender Leny Yoro kick.
The advantage was short lived. Two minutes after entering the field, Emile Smith-Rowe tied to Fulham and frustrated United’s reaction. “After scoring, I think my team focused too much on the result and less acting. We can do better,” said Amorim.
With just one goal scored in two matches, the attack follows as the biggest concern. Brazilian Matheus Cunha, one of the main signings for the season, hit the post in one of the few chances created. Next weekend, United faces Burnley in search of the first victory.
