Manchester United kicked off their Premier League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham at Old Trafford. The match was a tightly contested affair, with both sides creating numerous chances but failing to find the back of the net until late in the game.

Fulham started the game brightly and enjoyed the majority of possession in the opening stages. However, they were unable to capitalize on their dominance, with Manchester United’s defense holding firm. The Red Devils also had their moments, with Bruno Fernandes coming closest to breaking the deadlock with a one-on-one opportunity that was saved brilliantly by the Fulham goalkeeper.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert. Manchester United introduced several attacking players in search of a breakthrough, and their persistence paid off in the 87th minute. New signing Joshua Zirkee was the hero, scoring the only goal of the game to give United a winning start to the season.

The victory will give Manchester United a boost of confidence as they look to challenge for the Premier League title. Fulham, despite their defeat, showed plenty of promise and will be looking to build on their performance in the coming weeks.

Key moments:

  • Fulham dominated possession in the first half
  • Bruno Fernandes missed a one-on-one opportunity for Manchester United
  • Both teams created numerous chances throughout the game
  • Joshua Zirkee scored the winning goal for Manchester United
