We simulated Manchester United vs Fulham to predict final Premier League game

Manchester United will be looking to end the Premier League season in third place when they take on Fulham on Sunday afternoon.

Weight was lifted off the shoulders of the United players in their last outing, with their 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea securing a spot in the Champions League for next season. The win took Erik ten Hag's side above Newcastle into third, and a win against Fulham on Sunday would see them end the campaign in third.

With top four secured and an FA Cup final coming up, don't be surprised to see United rotate their squad. United and Fulham have met twice already this season, with Ten Hag's side winning 2-1 in the league and 3-1 in the FA Cup.

So, what could the final score be? To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: De Gea; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia; McTominay, Fernandes, Fred; Sancho, Martial, Rashford.

We predict that Fulham could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Diop, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Cairney, Willian; Mitrovic.

Marcus Rashford was finding lots of joy down the left, and he almost handed United the lead after six minutes when he struck the post with an ambitious effort from a narrow angle. The pressure continued, and not long after the hosts pulled ahead with their top scorer heavily involved.

Some nice link-up play between Rashford and Tyrell Malacia on the left saw the former reach the byline with the ball, and the Englishman picked out the run of Bruno Fernandes with a pullback. As
