The heat is on Manchester United and manager Michael Carrick heading to winless Fulham after a disappointing start to the season became a nightmare one over the last week. Any hopes an opening-day 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull was just a blip have been shattered following several disappointing performances and even worse results.
United twice surrendered late leads to draw 2-2 at Everton and then last Sunday were beaten 1-0 at home by a Manchester City side who played with a man less for over an hour. More misery was to follow on Wednesday night as the Red Devils were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by bogey club Brighton despite leading 2-0 after 10 minutes.
With speculation teenage prodigy JJ Gabriel is also looking to leave the club, these are concerning times for United fans. However, Sunday’s trip to Craven Cottage offers the chance for United to ease those worries heading into the international break.
United have won 18 of their last 24 matches against Fulham , losing just twice of which one was a penalty shoot-out, while the Cottagers haven’t had the best of starts under new boss Alvaro Arbeloa. Therefore, we are going for an away win with BTTS @ 5/2 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost as our opening Fulham vs Man Utd prediction .

Arbeloa and his team are in need of a good result too after picking up just one point from their opening four league games. That included 3-2 home defeats to London rivals Chelsea and Crystal Palace and a 1-0 loss at Sunderland .
However, Fulham have enjoyed success in the Carabao Cup , with victories over AFC Wimbledon and West Ham firing them into the fourth round, while they earned a creditable goalless league draw at Liverpool last weekend.
They would love to frustrate United too, but history is against the Cottagers , who haven’t beaten the Red Devil at home since 2009. Despite that poor record, though, matches between the two have been close, certainly in recent years, and we’re going for a narrow 2-1 away win @ 15/2.
We also think over 10.5 corners in total @ 21/20 is a decent option. Only Spurs have taken more corners than Fulham’s 25 in the Premier League this season, while United are fourth on the list with 23.
Manchester United form guide
Boos rained down at Old Trafford following Wednesday’s Carabao Cup exit to Brighton as United suffered a second major home setback in a matter of days. No doubt fired up by Sunday’s controversial and painful 1-0 defeat to Manchester City , United raced into a two-goal lead against the Seagulls thanks to goals from Shea Lacey and Mason Mount.
But United then capitulated in the face of a Brighton fightback with the south-coast side rallying for a 3-2 victory, becoming the first team in 50 years to win at Old Trafford after trailing 2-0. It was also Brighton’s fifth win in six visits to the Theatre of Dreams and saw United dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle for the second successive season.
United will now hope a trip to Craven Cottage , where they have won eight of 10 matches since last suffering defeat, will stop the rot. Captain Bruno Fernandes should return to the starting-line up and the all-action playmaker could be a good bet to get on the scoresheet @ 7/4.
Benjamin Sesko , who netted a dramatic stoppage-time winner in last season’s 3-2 home win over Fulham , is 11/8 to score at any time.
