Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has mounting injuries to deal with at a time his side have been on a poor run of form but he will have to get a win at Fulham to ease some pressure
Under-fire Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will continue to fight for his job when his team visits Fulham on Saturday.
The Red Devils have suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats ahead of the Saturday’s early kick-off, losing to Manchester City in the derby before a hellish Carabao Cup display at home to Newcastle.
History is on United's side for the trip to Craven Cottage, however, as they are unbeaten in their last 17 games against Fulham, a run stretching back almost 14 years.
The west Londoners are on a typically mid-table stretch in the Premier League with a record of two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six games.
But they may feel that there has never been a better time to end their long wait to beat their bogey team.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Fulham vs Man United is scheduled for a 3.30pm [Kenyan time] kick-off on Saturday, November 4, 2023.
The match will take place at Craven Cottage in west London.
Where to watch Fulham vs Manchester United
The match will be live on SuperSport TV.
