If you really check out the performance of Manchester United against Fulham it wasn't easy with them. At the beginning of the game I think Manchester United were very relaxed, and the game was just like their regular performance in last season. Manchester United managed to score their first goal toward the end of the game, I think Fulham gave them a tough game . I won't just have hope on them because they won their first game against Fulham and it will still happen again when they play against Brighton. I feel Manchester United are still struggling, even if they won their first game. Their was no much different in performance of their first first game and that of last season. But as the season continues I'll see if their is a transformation in Manchester United to predict upcoming games .
I think we might be analyzing the matches differently based on our different perspectives but i personally saw a new Manchester United against Fulham. The first half which you attack or are castigating Manchester United for was to me one of their best football in few months, they got the deserved three points although Fulham too were exceptional not that Manchester United weren’t playing well. Last season if you had watched Manchester United you would have notice that they were just getting scrappy wins and not really controlling the game that much. But in their last two competitive matches they have been good at keeping the ball.
Against Brighton I expect them to win even though over the years Brighton have been one of their biggest obstacles when it comes to getting wins. I could remember Ten Hag first premier league game when he got beaten by Brighton. Hopefully they don’t allow that mistake to Happen again, my prediction is Manchester United winning against Brighton
