As their ongoing crisis deepens with each passing week, Manchester United, whose morale has taken a hit, look to bounce back from a series of disappointing days as they face Fulham in the early Premier League match on Saturday at Craven Cottage.
United’s underwhelming defence of the EFL Cup came to an end with a 3-0 home defeat to Newcastle United on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Fulham secured a place in the quarter-finals by defeating Ipswich Town 3-1. They now face the Red Devils in their next PL match.
The Old Trafford outfit is facing a string of issues as they prepare to take on Fulham. Casemiro, who recently returned from an ankle injury, suffered an unspecified injury and is unlikely to start.
Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, Jadon Sancho (due to disciplinary reasons), Tyrell Malacia, and Lisandro Martinez will also be unavailable.
Additionally, Raphael Varane was unable to play in the EFL Cup due to illness and needs further evaluation.
On a positive note, Aaron Wan-Bissaka made a substitute appearance against Newcastle, suggesting he might start, while Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, and Marcus Rashford are expected to return to the starting lineup for the weekend match.
