Manchester United come from behind to beat Fulham at the Theatre of Dreams

Manchester United Secures Thrilling 3-2 Win Over Fulham at Old Trafford

Manchester United’s interim manager Michael Carrick extended his perfect start with a stunning 3-2 victory over Fulham in a Premier League thriller on Sunday. The match saw Casemiro score the opening goal for Manchester United in the 19th minute, followed by Matheus Cunha’s equalizer after the interval.

In an intense finale, Raul Jimenez gave Fulham hope with a penalty in the 85th minute, only to be levelled by Kevin’s impressive strike in stoppage time. However, Manchester United hit straight back as Benjamin Sesko scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute, securing Carrick’s third successive victory.

The match marked Manchester United’s seventh consecutive unbeaten league match, moving them up to fourth place in the table. The team’s bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League is gaining momentum. Carrick has matched a previous record set by former manager Ruben Amorim, winning three games in a row within weeks of his appointment.

A protest by Manchester United fans took place outside Old Trafford before kickoff, with hundreds of supporters gathering to express their frustration with the club’s ownership and recent decline. The fans held banners and chanted against the owners, but Carrick’s team ultimately secured the win.

Manchester United made several changes to their lineup, including replacing injured Patrick Dorgu with Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian scored the winner at Arsenal last weekend and played a crucial role in securing the victory over Fulham.
