Michael Carrick’s dream start at Old Trafford could continue this weekend, as Man United bid to tighten their hold on a Champions League spot when they host Fulham.
It has been a sensational start to life in the hot seat for Carrick, with United claiming back-to-back wins over Man City and Arsenal.
Fulham should present a different challenge for United this weekend. Marco Silva’s side have been excellent in recent weeks, losing just once in their last five.

A change in management has made a world of difference for Man United. The Red Devils have been excellent since Ruben Amorim’s sacking, recording impressive wins over Man City and Arsenal in successive weeks.
In fact, a victory on Sunday would match Amorim’s longest-ever winning run at the club. Bryan Mbeumo has excelled in the number nine role, scoring in back-to-back games.
However, Patrick Dorgu has been ruled out for ten weeks. But, confidence within the camp will be high after going six without defeat, marking their longest unbeaten run since February 2022.

Marco Silva has done a sensational job at Fulham, and any relegation worries this term have quickly been removed after winning ten of their 23 games.
The Cottagers currently sit seventh in the standings, and they have won two of their previous three. Meanwhile, Fulham have accumulated 17 points from their last eight matches, which is the most that the team have every achieved over an eight-game period in top-flight history.
Harry Wilson has been the key man for Fulham this term, recording ten goal involvements in his last eleven EPL appearances.
| TOTAL | Man United | Fulham | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 42 | 30 | 4 | 8 |
| Goals | 131 | 91 | 40 |
This will be a major challenge for Carrick this weekend, as it will be fascinating to see how United deal with an opponent that they will need to break down.
However, the fact that creative stars such as Bruno Fernandes and Mbeumo have shone in recent weeks bodes well, and a third straight win looks to be on the cards for the Red Devils.
