Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham after Leny Yoro's deflected header gave United a 58th-minute lead and Emile Smith Rowe equalised fifteen minutes later. Bruno Fernandes missed a first-half penalty. United have one point from two Premier League games following a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal. After taking the lead the team tried to hold the advantage, pressed high and then left large spaces that allowed Fulham to shift momentum. Players were urged to grow up, maintain their mindset and move forward regardless of setbacks. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko remain without goals after major summer transfers.
The moment that changed the game was our goal. We want to win so badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the pitch was thinking, 'Let's hold onto the advantage and try to win the game'. For me, that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent. We tried to press the opponent super high and left a lot of space.
We suffer a little bit in the end because the momentum changed more with the goal of Fulham. In the first half we were there, we missed a penalty. Fernandes has so much responsibility with him that I felt the lack of joy [when he missed]. And he was thinking in the past. Now we have to move forward no matter what happens.
