“Experts have been forecasting Manchester United’s upcoming match at home against Fulham as Erik ten Hag’s team aims to maintain their impressive performance.”
Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have shared their forecasts for the upcoming Manchester United versus Fulham match this weekend. Under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, United has experienced a notable upturn in performance, reigniting hopes of securing a top-four finish with a string of impressive results.
Despite their early-season struggles, United have shown signs of resurgence, but maintaining consistency will be crucial in their pursuit of Champions League qualification for the next season. Fulham, their opponents at Old Trafford this weekend, have displayed inconsistency throughout the season, hovering around mid-table in the league standings.
However, teams like Fulham can pose a threat, and BBC pundit Sutton suggests that this won’t be a straightforward match for Ten Hag’s squad. In his weekly predictions, he remarked, “Manchester United’s winning streak continues—their victory on Sunday against Luton marked their fifth consecutive win in all competitions—and it’s encouraging to see Rasmus Hojlund maintaining his scoring form as well. Fulham suffered an unfortunate defeat to United at Craven Cottage in November, but their away performances have been less than stellar. They have only managed to secure one league victory on the road all season, which came against Everton on the opening weekend.”
“I anticipate a tough match for United because Fulham pose a threat with their dangerous counter-attacking style. However, Erik ten Hag’s side is currently playing with a sense of freedom, which leads me to believe they will emerge victorious.”
Sutton forecast a narrow 2-1 win for United, whereas former Arsenal forward Merson expressed much greater confidence, predicting a convincing 3-0 victory in his SportsKeeda predictions column. “Manchester United’s consistent winning streak is noteworthy,” he explained. “Although they weren’t the dominant team against Aston Villa, they still managed to secure the win. Luton had their moments of dominance, yet I can’t recall Onana having to make a single save.”
“Manchester United are poised to find the back of the net in this match, and Fulham will have to match their scoring prowess if they hope to secure a positive outcome. With a stable front three, United has found consistency under Ten Hag’s management.”
Merson further commented, “I’m a big fan of Rasmus Hojlund, and I see him becoming a superstar. Despite arriving at the club with an injury, it’s evident now that he’s fully fit and acclimated. At just 21 years old, he’s been exceptional for United. Fulham’s lackluster away form, having only gathered seven points on the road so far, highlights their struggles. I can only foresee a Manchester United victory in this fixture, which would significantly bolster their position in the top-four race.”
