Man Utd Unveils Dorgu's Replacement for Fulham Clash—Team News and Starting XI Revealed
Securing three consecutive Premier League wins appeared impossible for Manchester United not long ago, but defeating Fulham would accomplish this remarkable turnaround for the rejuvenated Red Devils.
Michael Carrick's management has begun with two stunning triumphs against Manchester City and Arsenal, revitalizing both players and supporters who had become frustrated during Ruben Amorim's period. Moving ahead, consistency remains crucial for United, and they need to build upon this restored confidence this Sunday.
Fulham won't be easy opponents and will create problems, particularly during counter-attacks, but United are strong favorites to claim victory against the Cottagers following their recent upward trajectory.

Patrick Dorgu netted a spectacular goal against Arsenal following his strike versus Manchester City, but the Danish player also picked up a serious injury at the Emirates Stadium. Right when he was finding his rhythm, the young talent will be unavailable for approximately ten weeks due to a hamstring issue.
The Netherlands pair Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee continue to be unavailable, though both are anticipated to return shortly.
Apart from these cases, Carrick has a fully fit squad available for Fulham's arrival.
Man Utd Predicted Lineup vs. Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Man Utd Predicted Lineup vs. Fulham (4-2-3-1)
GK: Senne Lammens—The summer signing has remained relatively unnoticed this campaign but his contribution has been significant. Lammens displays assurance in goal and maintains excellent control of his penalty area.
RB: Diogo Dalot—With Noussair Mazraoui's return from the Africa Cup of Nations, Dalot faces renewed competition for his position in the upcoming fixtures.
CB: Harry Maguire—Maguire has handled Erling Haaland and Arsenal's attacking threats effectively in recent encounters and will look to contain Raúl Jiménez with similar success.
CB: Lisandro Martínez—Martínez's combative style and distribution skills have been extremely valuable during the early stages of Carrick's management.
LB: Luke Shaw—Shaw faces perhaps the most challenging individual duel at Old Trafford: containing Harry Wilson. The Welsh winger has been in excellent form, proving difficult for numerous defenders recently with five goals and four assists across his last ten appearances in all competitions.
DM: Casemiro—Casemiro has answered news of his summer departure by delivering two outstanding performances.
DM: Kobbie Mainoo—Carrick's tactical adjustments have enabled Mainoo's return to the starting eleven—he now looks set to be a regular starter going forward.
RW: Amad Diallo—Amad has been somewhat eclipsed by his attacking teammates since Carrick took charge, but it won't be long before the Ivorian makes his mark.
AM: Bruno Fernandes—The skipper maintained his high performance levels under Amorim despite speculation about his future. He registered 21 more assists than any other player during the first 23 Premier League matchdays.
LW: Matheus Cunha—Cunha has provided tremendous impact as a substitute under Carrick and will now earn a starting role with Dorgu unavailable.
ST: Bryan Mbeumo—Mbeumo has spearheaded the attack impressively in the previous two matches and has now found the net against Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal this season while leading United's scoring statistics.
