Fulham boss Marco Silva delivers honest verdict on 'tough' Manchester United defeat

Fulham head coach Marco Silva admitted that he did not believe his side deserved to be on the losing side of the scoreline following Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Craven Cottage.

United youngster Alejandro Garnacho, fresh from providing two assists in Thursday night's Carabao Cup triumph over Aston Villa, climbed off the bench to net a 93rd-minute winner, ensuring United went into the World Cup pause just three points shy of the top-four. Former Reds winger Daniel James had earlier stepped off the bench himself to bring Fulham level, cancelling out Christian Eriksen's first-half opener.

In what proved to be an entertaining contest on the banks of the Thames, both sides carried a good attacking threat from the very first whistle. Both sides had chances in the first half, but it was United that went into the interval with their noses in front.
