Key events
David Hytner was at Craven Cottage and his report is in. That’s my cue to get going. Thanks for reading.
It’s been a really tough start for Álvaro Arbeloa … but his side have drawn against Liverpool and Manchester United, and their three games after the international break are against the promoted sides: Ipswich, Hull and Coventry.
Spurs fans … look away.
United certainly missed Sesko today. Cunha looked far more dangerous over on the left, where his goal came from. “After we conceded the goal, we played much better … but this needs to be from the start,” Cunha tells Sky.
Quite a few angry emails coming in about United. That was a poor display, particularly those 15 minutes before the Fulham goal, and the table doesn’t read well at all … but I don’t understand anyone calling for Carrick to go. It’s been five games! He took them to third last season!
Fulham are still waiting for a league win under Álvaro Arbeloa. United have five points from five games. Yeah, no one’s happy here.
FULL-TIME: Fulham 1-1 Manchester United
Martínez finds room for a strike … but it’s blocked out for another corner. United fail to threaten with it, and the whistle follows.
90+3 min: Dorgu wins a corner … one last chance.
90+1 min: United keep pressing, Cunha drifts into the area but no one connects with his cutback.
90 min: Three more minutes.
Cunha cuts in from the left, lets fly and a wicked deflection off Affengruber leaves Leno with no chance. The Brazilian scores his fifth goal in seven games against Fulham.
GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Manchester United (Cunha 89)
Cunha scores another against Fulham!
88 min: United waste a burst forward as Dorgu fails to take down a diagonal ball by Maguire.
86 min: There’s a handball shout after a United corner, Bassey’s hands going up as Martínez pokes the ball at him. VAR lets it pass through to the wicketkeeper.
85 min: Mbeumo whips in a dangerous cross to the far post … but a Fulham head gets in the way.
84 min: United desperately need some Fernandes magic – but he’s been uncharacteristically quiet. Dorgu replaces Luke Shaw.
81 min: The corners keep on coming … can Fernandes find Maguire? Nope. The move breaks down with a Martínez volley flying over the bar.
80 min: Fulham make their final changes, with Muniz and Andersen on for García and King. Mainoo is off; Mount is on for United.
79 min: United play a few too many passes over on the right, failing to cross, but they’ve got a corner.
78 min: Mbeumo rushes down the right, cuts in for his strike … but there are enough white shirts back to block off his effort.
77 min: Fulham make another tweak as Larsson replaces Berge. Zirkzee is on for Rashford. Cunha will probably move over to the left.
76 min: Kevin is on for Fulham … and he finds space down the right to launch. Lammens moves to his right and gets a strong hand on it.
75 min: United haven’t turned to the bench yet.
74 min: Brilliant from Cunha, turning in midfield, showing strength before trying to find the bottom right corner … Leno makes another fine stop.
73 min: Fernandes is stationed out on the right as he whips in another cross … but United are missing Sesko today.
70 min: Fernandes sends in a free-kick from the right … and it turns into a goalkick.
68 min: United have been given a shake as they push forward.
67 min: United play it short, work it to Mbeumo on the edge of the area, he curls it … and Leno makes a staggering save, leaping to his right to tip it around the post. Brilliant from the Fulham keeper.
66 min: Neville rages at United before Shaw drives forward and wins a corner.
Bassey wins the ball off Cunha after Fulham push forward, rushes into the area and sends in a low drive. Sammens saves, it meets Martínez a few yards away … but the ball travels back to goal and into the net, Lammens failing to clear with his feet. Was the defender trying to play a pass back to the keeper? Whatever the case, it’s another miserable moment for United this season.
GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Manchester United (Martínez og 63)
Oh, that’s a shocker.
61 min: Finally, signs of life: Iwobi has room out on the left, sends in a shot that deflects off Dalot for a corner.
60 min: The stats flash up: we’re still waiting for a shot in this half.
59 min: United have a spell on the ball but can’t find any gaps to cut through.
57 min: Gary Neville is bemused by the lack of urgency from both teams.
56 min: Fulham wheel it around at the back with little pressure from United.
55 min: It’s all a bit flat at the moment.
54 min: Rashford finds space down the left on the counter, tries to play to Mbeumo … but Robinson nips in to save Fulham.
52 min: The camera finds Sir Alex Ferguson in the stands.
49 min: Bobb weaves through United shirts as Fulham venture forward … Robinson crosses from the left but United launch their own counter. Rashford is taken down by Castagne and that’s a yellow for the right-back.
48 min: The ball is stuck in Fulham’s half.
47 min: Rashford sends in a dangerous ball, but Cunha is penalised for doing something wrong in the mixer.
46 min: And we’re back. No changes just yet as Fulham kick things off. Dalot goes on an adventure down the right for United.
United had 17 shots in that half … with just two on target.
HALF-TIME: Fulham 0-0 Manchester United
United have had chances … but Fulham have been the better side.
45 min: King’s fine half is soured by a yellow for diving – he goes down after Maguire’s arm brushes him and the ref ain’t impressed.
44 min: United’s front four all combine as Mbeumo deflects a Cunha cross to Rashford in the middle … but he volleys over the bar.
42 min: Iwobi plays a one-two and looks through on goal … but Lammens, United’s player of the half, springs into action to deny the winger.
39 min: United’s best move of the game. Dalot breaks into midfield, plays to Fernandes, who works it to Rashford inside the area … but he can’t get the right placement on the strike when trying to curl it in from the left.
38 min: United work it patiently but Tielemans’ cross into the area can’t beat the first man.
36 min: Mbeumo knocks Robinson off the ball, Rashford finds it on the left and cuts in, navigating traffic before unleashing … but he can’t beat the crowd of defenders.
35 min: Rashford tries to play in Tielemans inside the area … but he was probably better off trying to whip an effort himself.
34 min: Iwobi and King are running this game.
