Man Utdvs.Fulham

sportsmole.co.uk, 14 August 2024, 09:48

Manchester United will open their 2024-25 Premier League campaign with a home fixture against Fulham on Friday night.

The Red Devils finished eighth in the Premier League last term - their worst performance in the current format - but they qualified for the group stage of the 2024-25 Europa League due to their success in the FA Cup.

Erik ten Hag's side will now be bidding to get their new season off to the perfect start when they welcome Marco Silva's Fulham to Old Trafford.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 91

Man Utd wins: 56

Draws: 20

Fulham wins: 15

Man United unsurprisingly lead the overall head-to-head record against Fulham, having won 56 of their previous 91 meetings, suffering only 15 defeats in the process, while there have also been 20 draws.

The first-ever league meeting between the two teams came back in October 1922, with the contest finishing 1-1, and four of the opening six contests between the pair actually finished level.

The Premier League era has been dominated by Man United, though, with the 20-time English champions triumphing in 24 of their 34 contests with Fulham in that particular competition, suffering just four defeats in the process.

Fulham were actually victorious when the two teams last met in the league in February 2024, with the London outfit recording a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

That success was the capital outfit's first league victory over Man United since December 2009, and it proved to be just their second-ever Premier League win at Old Trafford.

During the 2023-24 campaign, Man United won 1-0 at Craven Cottage, with Bruno Fernandes netting the only goal of the contest in second-half stoppage time.

Wayne Rooney is the all-time leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, finding the back of the net on 10 occasions, while Ruud van Nistelrooy managed eight and Cristiano Ronaldo seven.

Man United will be the big favourites heading into Friday's fixture, having won four of the last five meetings between the two teams in all competitions.

That said, the Red Devils have only won one of their last three home league games against Fulham, losing last term and also being held to a 1-1 draw by the London club in May 2021.

Should Fulham win on Friday, they would make it back-to-back wins over Man United in the Premier League for the first time since December 2009.
