Manchester United predicted line-up vs Fulham as Harry Maguire and Alejandro Garnacho start
Manchester United will be looking to finish the Premier League campaign with a spring in their step when they welcome Fulham to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
United, who have beaten the Cottagers twice already this season, wrapped up a top four berth with a 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday night, resulting in Champions League qualification for next season being secured. Despite some questionable defending in the first half, goals from Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford sealed a convincing win for the Reds.
It means they will now have ambitions of finishing the campaign by clinging onto third place in the table. Ahead of their final day tussle with Fulham, the Reds are currently third in the standings, two points clear of fourth-placed Newcastle United.

The Reds need a win to guarantee third spot, as a draw would run the risk gift-wrapping the position to Newcastle on goal difference. They travel to Chelsea on the final day.
Joao Felix's late consolation goal for Chelsea at Old Trafford on Thursday night meant United shot-stopper David de Gea was denied his 18th Premier League clean sheet of the season. The Golden Glove winner, however, will be hoping to equal his clean sheet tally from the last time he won the award in 2017/18 by keeping Fulham at bay.
He is expected to retain his place and continue his run of having started every Premier League game since the beginning of last season.
Ahead of De Gea, considering United have now secured Champions League qualification, Ten Hag could ring the changes in defence, possibly making up to three changes in total. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Raphael Varane deserve to be rested ahead of the FA Cup
