I think I totally agreed with you that Manchester United away game at Fulham tonight was actually a boring one especially for neutrals who wanted to enjoy the game. That said, I think United can be excused for not delivering an entertaining game but still managed to get all three points and that's because I believe the new manager is still working on the team's flaws which is why he's exploring the options players at his disposal. Ruben Amorim I believe will succeed with this club but it'll take a lot of patience from the club fans before they can start seeing the best from the Portuguese manager.
Yeah Manchester United managed to secure 3 points through luck, just look based on statistics Man United only has 4 shots and 1 of them on target luckily 1 shot was a goal while Fulham dominated a little but they couldn't do much. We cannot say that Manchester United have returned to the track because we haven't seen the impressive match from them and Manchester United need more luck to stay away from degradation.
Although Man United only managed to create 4 chances and 1 of them managed to become a goal, I don't see it as luck because three of Manchester United's last four 1-0 wins in the Premier League against Fulham occurred through goals scored in the 78th minute or later. Man United are also one of four Premier League teams this season who are unbeaten in all competitions when leading 1-0 (P 18 W 10 D

, Liverpool (23), Arsenal (22) and Newcastle (15).
