Fulham manager Marco Silva said Manchester United have lacked the consistency they have craved this season, but still described them as a “really good team”.
The Cottagers will welcome United to Craven Cottage on Sunday in what is the Premier League’s final game before the pause for the World Cup. Fulham are four points behind Erik ten Hag’s side in ninth and have lost just one of their last five matches.
United’s nine-game unbeaten run ended in last Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Aston Villa, although they bounced back with a 4-2 win over the Villains in Thursday’s League Cup encounter. United sit fifth, three points off fourth place, although are unlikely to break the top four with a win due to Tottenham’s goal difference being 10 goals superior.
