Manchester United will be determined to put back-to-back defeats behind them when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.
United, who beat the Cottagers 2-1 on the final day of last season, suffered a second successive defeat in midweek, exiting the Carabao Cup after a 3-0 reverse to Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
Goals from Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock sealed a routine win for the much-changed Magpies. That defeat has increased the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, meaning he will be desperate to see his side produce a much-needed response on the banks of the Thames.
United, of course, lost 3-0 to neighbours Manchester City in their last league outing.
