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.
With the lack of chances from both clubs and most of the ball only spinning in the middle, in the end this match was quite monotonous to watch even though the tension was quite good which has always been a characteristic of the EPL but in the end we can see that there is nothing really interesting in 90 minutes of the match.
Manchester United are still unable to make their performance in terms of productivity and scheme better until now so in the end their performance even in this match is worse than Fulham, which in fact they have a level below them.
I know they managed to get 3 points in this match but indeed when there was no deflection there I thought the situation would remain the same where the score could not be obtained but there was a little luck where a speculative shot from Licha made the score change.
Although 3 points were won, it seems that Manchester United still can't escape from their performance condition and must continue to make them successfully improve in a better direction for now.
