Man Utd team news: Predicted XI vs Fulham as Ruben Amorim makes Benjamin Sesko decison

Manchester United travel to Fulham on Sunday, looking to continue their positive momentum, despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. The Red Devils received praise for their performance at Old Trafford, but Ruben Amorim will know that his side must follow it up by claiming their first win of the campaign.

United haven't lost at Craven Cottage in the Premier League since 2009, which bodes well as Amorim searches for a crucial victory. The Portuguese head coach has some big decisions to make in London after excluding some big names against Arsenal.

Man Utd predicted XI vs Fulham (3-4-3)

Goalkeeper - Onana

Andre Onana was not ready to feature in the opener against the Gunners, having only trained three times after returning from a hamstring injury that ruled him out of pre-season.

He should be ready to replace Altay Bayindir between the sticks at Fulham, though, after the Turk's corner blunder last time out.

Defence - Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw

Amorim has no reason to switch up his defence after a resolute showing silenced Arsenal's attacking threat at Old Trafford.

Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw should make up United's first-choice back three this term, at least until Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez return to fitness.

Midfield - Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu

Amad will likely make his first start of the season at right-wing-back, replacing Diogo Dalot, as he did near the hour mark against Arsenal.

Other than that change, the United midfield should remain the same. Patrick Dorgu was encouraging again on the left and will be one of the first names on Amorim's teamsheet.

Casemiro did a fine job alongside captain Bruno Fernandes in the daunting midfield battle with Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

It would be a huge surprise if Manuel Ugarte started after his below-par cameo off the bench against the Gunners.

Attack - Mbeumo, Mount, Cunha

Benjamin Sesko had to start the first game of the campaign on the bench, and he could stay there against Fulham as he builds up his fitness and adapts to his new surroundings.

Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are certain starters after their impressive debut outings, with Mason Mount in line to also keep his place.

Mount is enjoying his best injury-free run since joining United from Chelsea and looked sharp against Arsenal, following a positive pre-season.

Sesko will undoubtedly feature off the bench, though.
