Casemiro makes his presence felt
That is one of the ways Manchester United will miss Casemiro when he leaves in the summer – for a defensive midfielder, he is a fine goalscorer.

Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
‘21: Fulham boss Marco Silva has picked up a booking for protesting the award of that free-kick. He’s not happy.

GOAL! Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
‘19: Casemiro gets the opener!
No penalty, no problem – he leaps for the free-kick and thunders home a header to put United ahead! He’s mobbed by his teammates.

Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
‘17: Cuenca got a touch of the ball. This feels harsh, if it’s given. VAR are inspecting…

PENALTY! Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
‘16: Jimenez goes down and theatrically rolls on the pitch; play doesn’t stop and as he peeks around to see what’s going on, only to see the referee studiously ignore him, he gets himself up without too much bother.
Oooh, now Fulham have a penalty! Cuenca got away with one on Mbuemo but he nicks Cunha at the back line and the ref points to the spot!

SAVE! Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
‘14: Fulham win a corner… it’s played short and Wilson lofts in a ball to Andersen at the far post, but his header doesn’t have enough oomph and Lammens palms it away.
Fulham have another… he gets a strong hand to this one too.

Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
‘11: Mbuemo goes down in the box! Cuenca catches him a little late, barging him over right on the edge of the area; no penalty, despite the home fans’ protestations.
Fulham counter but Amad, who is everywhere, cuts in and steals the ball back.

Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
‘10: Amad is a real bright spark for United; he cuts inside Robinson and wins the first corner of the game.
United have the second-highest number of goals from set-pieces so far this season, just behind Arsenal.
Mbuemo’s delivery is deep to Maguire but Leno catches his header!

Man Utd wary of Fulham threat
Part of the test for Manchester United today is the one Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim failed too often: can Michael Carrick win the kind of games that United invariably used to? At home, against a mid-ranking Premier League side? Fulham, and many another, have shown they can beat United in recent years. They have begun confidently here.
