The game started with a free-kick, a direct feed from Garnacho on the right for McTominay to break through, but the referee looked at the VAR and ruled that offside didn't count, but on 15 minutes Fulham's Pereira got the ball in the middle of the field and passed it out to the left for a raid by Willian, who killed it off

A shot from inside the box was blocked, which turned out to be towards the feet of Wilson coming up the right flank, who moved across the box with the ball before pumping in a shot that was fortunately blocked by Onana, and Fulham clearly had a better chance than

There was no Amrabat in this game, presumably because of the important upcoming fight next week
European crown
In the match, Temhag rested him and from the beginning of the match Wan-Bissaka moved from right back into the center of the field to assist in the game, but of course he was not as good as Amrabat, he could only make tackles and shovels, but he was not as good as Amrabat, and he could only make tackles and shovels.

Without Amrabat in control at the back, the whole tempo could not be stabilized, and once faced with Fulham in the press, the
Manchester United Football Club
The backfield will start to be a bit chaotic, you can only try to pass to the front as quickly as possible, as a result, the overall formation can not be properly pushed forward, and the wingers have not yet reached a good position to get the ball in advance, so it is difficult to attack properly, the impact of the absence of Amrabat is very great!
The first half essentially ended with both teams consumed by the
Manchester United Football Club
The lack of good organization and ball movement in the midfield led to a messy attack, McTominay was clearly not good at organizing in the midfield, Eriksen was not in great shape, and Fulham's four fullbacks and the double backs were all good, just standing firm, which allowed the
Manchester United Football Club
Unable to get out on the ball or even maintain a balanced pulling line from left to right, the ball was consistently passed to Garnacho on the left, Antony on the right could barely get to the ball for the entire first half and he himself failed to join the midfield organization so it was difficult to receive passes while standing in front of the right side of the field.
Manchester United Football Club
In the first half, there was no attack from the right.
Fulham's full back Bassey was full of prominence, sweeping quite a bit, and Iwobi in the middle was very solid, and what Fulham did was simple, pass the ball to Willian on the left on counter attacks whenever possible, and let Willian, who was the most skillful and experienced, go on the charge as the

's Wan-Bissaka would move into the middle of the field, so Willian did make quite a few chances on the wing, but his handling was also relatively simple, so it wasn't enough to threaten the

Decided to press the attack, from the beginning of the full press, Fulham also immediately back, in such an attack Fulham finally slightly ceded their midfield area, the

Can start to distribute the ball, Antony is in such a situation to get the ball on the right, but he still has to deal with Fulham's already retreating side defense, he still can't break through or cross, Garnacho on the left is in a chance after advancing more, but his handling is obviously still a little bit more urgent.
Manchester United Football Club
Garnacho's follow-through wasn't strong enough, and Garnacho's break into the box didn't have much of a target to pass to.
And Fulham started to fight back in this case.

Because of the pressure, the back was starting to be empty, and Fulham hit the back of the net instead.

The two shots were taken by Wilson and Palhinha at around the 60-minute mark, with Palhinha's shot from 13 yards to the right of the box, which Onana was able to parry away, resulting in Fulham's counter-attacking chances being better than

better
Ten Hagar started to make substitutions in the 63rd minute, replacing the ineffective Antony with Pellistri, who came on and made more aggressive runs, he was also quite dexterous, producing threatening dribbles and shots from the box.
