Your support makes all the difference.After 11 years of misery, in Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s words, came 90 minutes of melancholy. New era, same Manchester United? A first defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford since 2003 made for an inauspicious start after the new co-owner’s investment was confirmed. Turning United around was, Ratcliffe had rationalised, more than just a case of flicking a light switch. Repeat this result – and wretched performance – against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup and Manchester City, however, and the danger is that the lights go out on their season.

Reed did come back onto the pitch after receiving treatment for the cut on his eye, but he is going off now. He's replaced by Traore.
Manchester United vs Fulham
Reed has gone down as the cut on his eye from his earlier clash with Casemiro has opened up again. He needs patching up once more, but he's okay to carry on.
Manchester United vs Fulham
There are shouts for a penalty from some of the United fans behind the goal as Maguire goes down inside the box. He got the slightest of nudges in his back from Castagne, and the referee is having none of it.
Manchester United vs Fulham
SAVE! Fernandes leaves Reed on the floor with a lovely bit of footwork, and he opens up a pocket of space in front of him. He curls a shot towards the far post, but Leno stretches to hold onto it.
Manchester United vs Fulham
United win their first corner of the second half, but Fernandes' cross is over everybody in the middle. Mainoo makes a late run to the edge of the box, but his volley bounces into the ground and back out to where his captain is.
Manchester United vs Fulham
United are trying to move the ball quicker than before, but they look very out of sync. They can't seem to string together enough passes to get into the final third and cause Fulham any problems.

SAVE! Garnacho commits himself but doesn't make the interception, leaving the space in behind for Castagne. His cross almost creeps in and has Onana scrambling back, with the goalkeeper tipping it over.
