In a weird way, Manchester United's struggles against Fulham only further highlighted one of the team's biggest successes this season.

Erik ten Hag's side have a knack for managing to win matches even when they aren't at their best, though their latest comeback win was more about Fulham's implosion than it was about their own ability on the day.

Although results haven't been largely affected, there has been a noticeable change since Christian Eriksen's injury back in January, with the United midfield yet to find the same balance it had struck so sweetly earlier in the season.
