Sesko Set to Ignite Man Utd Attack in Craven Cottage Debut Against Fulham
Manchester United look to bounce back from their narrow loss to Arsenal last weekend as they travel to face Fulham in Premier League action on Sunday.
The Red Devils were unlucky not to take anything from their encounter with the Gunners, but the Premier League shows no mercy, with mounting pressure ahead of their journey to Craven Cottage. Ruben Amorim will be eager for his team to secure their first victory of the campaign at the earliest opportunity.
The United manager may implement multiple changes from the squad that fell to Arsenal and faces a significant decision regarding his goalkeeper selection. Altay Bayındır's standing took a hit following last weekend's blunder while André Onana observed from the sidelines.
Here's how United might set up.
Man Utd Predicted Lineup vs. Fulham (3-4-2-1)
GK: André Onana—The Cameroonian shot-stopper was benched against Arsenal but should return to the starting eleven following Bayındır's expensive mistake. United are searching for a new keeper ahead of the transfer window closure, with Senne Lammens appearing to be the probable answer.
CB: Leny Yoro—Yoro will anticipate a tough physical contest with Raúl Jiménez and/or Rodrigo Muniz on Sunday, while also needing to monitor Alex Iwobi's runs through the middle.
CB: Matthijs de Ligt—De Ligt delivered a strong performance against Arsenal last weekend and contributed to limiting the Gunners to limited opportunities at Old Trafford. He's expected to keep Harry Maguire on the bench once more.
CB: Luke Shaw—The English defender handled fellow countryman Bukayo Saka effectively last match and now confronts the energetic Harry Wilson, who impressed during Fulham's pre-season preparations.
RWB: Amad Diallo—Amad created a notable impact when introduced against Arsenal, combining effectively with Bryan Mbeumo on the right flank. He should get the nod at wing-back over Diogo Dalot.
CM: Casemiro—The Red Devils could benefit from additional mobility in midfield, but Casemiro will do for now. The 33-year-old remains a dependable choice in the center and might be assigned to contain former United player Andreas Pereira.
CM: Bruno Fernandes—United's captain should wield greater impact this season when playing in a withdrawn role, as Amorim's team has grown too dependent on the Portuguese star in recent campaigns.
LWB: Patrick Dorgu—Dorgu's dynamism along the left wing is impressive and he even struck the woodwork with a powerful effort last outing. He could develop into an extremely valuable attacking weapon for United.
RF: Bryan Mbeumo—Mbeumo was active in the loss to the Gunners and provided United fans with considerable optimism. He registered five attempts against Arsenal and six touches inside their box.
ST: Benjamin Šeško—Mason Mount was deployed in the striker position last weekend, but Šeško should receive his inaugural United start. He wasn't particularly prominent during his short appearance against the Gunners.
LF: Matheus Cunha—Cunha's display and attitude will have delighted United supporters at Old Trafford, with Fulham fully aware of the Brazilian's abilities. He's found the net three times and provided one assist across four previous encounters with the London club.
