The defeat against Fulham meant that Manchester United winning streak had to end, losing in that match made it even more difficult for Manchester United to get into the top 4 and I think their chances of reaching the top 4 will be even more closed if Tottenham can win against Chelsea in the postponed match and make the goal difference will be bigger, for now we can see how dependent Manchester United is on Hojlund so that when Hojlund is absent it makes Manchester United's attack line quite dull, besides I think Manchester United's defeat cannot be separated from their poor defense and also Onana who made mistakes even though able to perform several saves in that match, the defeat against Fulham brought Manchester closer to again setting a record for the most home defeats in one season because Since 2020/2021, this is the first time Man United has experienced eight home defeats in all competitions, while the worst record is nine times lost at home in one season, which occurred in 1973/1974.
So true. This defeat meant that Man United had no hope of finishing in the top four because the point difference with Aston Villa was very large. And breaking Man United's winning streak, this was also Man United's first defeat this year.
In this match, the Man United players made a lot of mistakes, always losing duels, always losing fights for the ball, and the front players didn't want to work together. The ball should have been passed but it still went nowhere, it was really boring to see Man United's ridiculous game. The referee gave nine minutes of additional time as a chance of victory for Man United. However, Fulham said differently, they managed to provide a surprise in the final minutes. Fulham's 2-1 victory over Man United was Fulham's first win at Old Trafford since 2003. After 21 years, Fulham finally managed to break their egg.
