The Cottagers emerged victorious when these clubs last met.

Fulham are all set to host Manchester United in their matchweek 2 fixture of the English Premier League 2025-26 season. It will be an interesting fixture between these and will take place at Craven Cottage.

Fulham held Brighton & Hove Albion to a draw in their opening game of the new season. The Cottagers scored a goal in the dying moments of the game, which helped them secure a point. For the upcoming fixture, they will be at home, but it is not going to be an easy outing for the hosts.

Players to Watch

Raul Jimenez (Fulham)

The Cottagers will rely on Mexico International to put up a strong fight against Manchester United’s defence. Raul Jimenez displayed some amazing performances for both his club and country during the 2024-25 season. It will be interesting to see his efforts against the Red Devils.

Benjamin Sesko (Man United)

Benjamin Sesko will be one of the main men for the Red Devils in the attacking front. Even though he failed to score a goal in the last fixture, Sesko is going to play an important role in the final third for the visitors. With the help of his fellow teammates, he is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
