Manchester United vs Fulham LIVE!
Michael Carrick made it a hat-trick of wins as Manchester United outlasted Fulham in another five-goal Premier League thriller. It has been a dream start to the former midfielder’s tenure as interim boss at Old Trafford, with title-contending Manchester City brushed aside in the derby before United then inflicted leaders Arsenal’s first home defeat of the season last weekend.
Such a high-profile double triumph saw the Red Devils vault into the top four and they are now back there, having temporarily dropped down to sixth after respective wins for Chelsea and Liverpool last night. It has also led to speculation that Carrick could yet be named as the full-time successor to Ruben Amorim in the summer, though there is plenty more football to be played before then. He did his chances no harm again on Sunday, with substitute Benjamin Sesko firing home a stoppage-time winner after Kevin’s spectacular goal looked to have earned battling Fulham an unlikely point.
Raul Jimenez got the visitors on the board late with a penalty after Harry Maguire’s foul, setting up a grandstand ending after United had led 2-0 through Casemiro’s header and a thumping finish from Matheus Cunha. An early penalty award for the hosts was overturned and Fulham had an effort ruled out for offside from Jorge Cuenca. Follow Man Utd vs Fulham reaction live below!

Not the most entertaining first half, but United are on track for a third straight win under Carrick and return to the top four thanks to Casemiro’s header from a Fernandes free-kick given after a penalty award was overturned.
Fulham have had plenty of the ball, but can’t do much with it.

14:33 , George FloodA nice moment for Casemiro in his first home game since announcing that he will be leaving Manchester United when his contract expires in the summer.
Good in the air for someone of his size.
Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
14:31 , George FloodWe already heard it from referee John Brooks on the mic, but here is the official explanation from the Premier League Match Centre on the overturn of that Manchester United penalty and decision to instead award a free-kick, from which they scored.
#MUNFUL – 16’ VAR OVERTURN
— Premier League Match Centre (@PLMatchCentre) February 1, 2026
After VAR review, the referee overturned the on-field decision of penalty to Manchester United.
Referee announcement: “After review, the Fulham 15 commits a holding offence outside the penalty area. The final decision is a free kick to Manchester…
Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
14:30 , George Flood28 mins: Another brief spell of Fulham pressure fails to yield the opportunity for a quick-fire equaliser.

14:26 , George Flood24 mins: Fulham find more pockets of space on the break, but Chukwueze’s low drive deflects off Dalot and is held by the diving Lammens.
Man Utd 1-0 Fulham
14:25 , George Flood22 mins: Marco Silva never looks the happiest down on the touchline and he is understandably fuming now.

GOAL! Man Utd 1-0 Fulham | Casemiro 19'
14:20 , George Flood19 mins: United score from the free-kick anyway!

United instead have a free-kick for the initial shirt pull by Cuenca on Cunha, just outside the box.
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:17 , George Flood15 mins: Cuenca has a handful of Cunha’s shirt as the latter drives into the Fulham box.
Cuenca goes to ground riskily inside the area for the second time in this opening quarter of an hour, but doesn’t get away with this one as referee John Brooks points for a penalty.
But again, he looked to get a decent chunk of the ball there. VAR are looking...
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:14 , George Flood12 mins: Fulham have an early corner of their own now, Wilson going short initially and then delivering a sweeping cross to the back post that is nodded down by Cuenca before being flicked on target by centre-back partner Andersen.
The ball is pushed wide by an alert Lammens, who punches clear the resulting second corner.
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:11 , George Flood9 mins: Checked and cleared, Cuenca got enough on the ball.
Nervy early moments for Fulham though.
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:11 , George Flood8 mins: More joy for the dangerous Amad up against Robinson and United force a corner from which Leno holds a nudged effort - I think from Maguire - at the back post.
United fans want a penalty for Cuenca’s risky sliding challenge in the box after a heavy first touch from Mbeumo.
Nothing given. VAR are looking.
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:09 , George Flood7 mins: A long ball releases Wilson, who runs at Maguire and tees up Chukwueze, whose effort is blocked.
The offside flag is up against Wilson.
Man Utd 0-0 Fulham
14:05 , George Flood4 mins: A lively start at Old Trafford as Amad cuts inside Robinson and rifles an effort on target that is parried away by Leno.
Earlier, Fulham countered well and Andersen fired well over the crossbar.
Man Utd vs Fulham
14:03 , George FloodUnderway at Old Trafford.
Will Manchester United make it three consecutive wins under Michael Carrick to jump back into the top four?
Both sides in their familiar home strips, with John Brooks the referee.
James Bell leads the VAR team.
There was plenty of need for VAR when these sides drew 1-1 at Craven Cottage earlier this season...
Here come the teams
13:58 , George FloodThe players emerge from the Old Trafford tunnel to the usual sound of the Stone Roses.
It was reported that legendary late Roses bassist Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield’s son was set to be a mascot for United this afternoon.
Mani was a huge, lifelong United fan.
Just a few minutes to go now until kick-off at Old Trafford.
There have been some great meetings between Manchester United and Fulham over the years, not least Alex Iwobi’s stoppage-time winner two years ago that gave the Cottagers only their second win at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ since 1963.
Can they repeat that feat this afternoon?

13:33 , George FloodThousands of fans look to have been joining in with the latest 1958 Group protests against Manchester United’s ownership ahead of kick-off at Old Trafford...
No Oscar Bobb debut for Fulham
13:27 , George FloodWe should note too that, as expected, there is no Oscar Bobb in the Fulham matchday squad this afternoon.
Too soon for his debut after completing that £27m transfer from Manchester City on Friday, with the young Norwegian winger having been dealing with a hamstring issue of late.
But Marco Silva insists he is in a good condition, so he’s likely to feature against Everton next weekend instead.
Fan reaction
13:23 , George FloodFulham fans are paying tribute to Samuel Chukwueze as he starts today following the passing of his mother.
Others are worried about Emile Smith Rowe’s form and how the likes of Joachim Andersen and Timothy Castagne will contain the threat of Bryan Mbuemo...
Massive shoutout to Samuel Chukwueze for starting at Old Trafford just days after the passing of his mother.

Fan reaction
13:20 , George FloodNo complaints among Manchester United fans on social media with today’s team selection as Michael Carrick makes just one injury-enforced change to the team that performed so brilliantly against both Manchester City and Arsenal...
Makes sense that Carrick has basically chosen the same line up from the last 2 wins, all but one change. Can't really say much, just hoping for three points, no matter how messy, it's such a crucial game 🙏🏾 #MUFC
— Marcus (@marcuskage10) February 1, 2026
Fan reaction
13:18 , George FloodA lot of Manchester United fans expect today’s match to be a tougher test than the wins over title-challenging Manchester City and Arsenal.
The Red Devils have struggled repeatedly at home in recent years against teams they are expected to take the game to and beat.
Does that change this afternoon?
Carrick's first actual challenge today, a game we're expected to win. Those are the games we've struggled the most with (which is why there's kinda fewer and fewer of them as well) #EPL #MUFC #MUNFUL #MNUFUL

Carrick explains surprise Mount absence for Man Utd
13:13 , George FloodMichael Carrick has confirmed to Sky Sports ahead of kick-off at Old Trafford that Mason Mount misses out for Manchester United today due to a minor injury.
“He took a bit of a knock in training. It is nothing serious,” he said.
“Obviously disappointing he is not with us today but he will be back with us very, very soon.”
Chukwueze replaces Kevin in Fulham attack
13:03 , George FloodFulham also show just the one change from their last-gasp 2-1 win at home to Brighton last weekend sealed by the in-form Harry Wilson’s brilliant stoppage-time free-kick.
Brazilian winger Kevin makes way for Samuel Chukwueze on the left-hand side of their attack, with the Nigerian having netted the equaliser last time out in an impactful cameo at Craven Cottage.
Right-back Kenny Tete is back on the bench at the expense of Issa Diop.
Cunha replaces Dorgu but no Mount for Man Utd
12:58 , George FloodSo as expected, Michael Carrick makes just one change from the Manchester United team that beat Arsenal as match-winner Matheus Cunha replaces the injured Patrick Dorgu on the left.
The fit-again Joshua Zirkzee is on the bench as reported, but Mason Mount is a surprise absentee from the squad.
We’ll see what Carrick has to say about his absence shortly.

Man Utd fans stage more protests against ownership
12:44 , George FloodToday’s game will take place against the backdrop of another planned fan protest from The 1958 Group against Manchester United’s owners the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
But Michael Carrick says he does not expect his players to be affected and believes there has been a special connection with supporters made over recent weeks.
"I don't think it connects with the two wins, to be honest," he said.
"I think it doesn't affect the team. I fully respect the supporters. They're incredible, they have been for so long.
"They've had a lot of highs and some downs as well, but, you know, I'm not offended by it or anything, and the players certainly aren't.
"I think within the stadium the support we've felt - and that's been there for all the games that I've watched for quite some time - has been of the highest level and I'm sure it'll continue to be like that.
"The connection that we've had over the last couple of weeks has been pretty special and we've both fed off that.
"I think the supporters have fed off it, we have as a group, the players certainly have, and that's something we need to keep building on."
Fit-again Zirkzee set for Man Utd return today
12:38 , George FloodIt’s being reported on social media that Joshua Zirkzee is indeed back in the Manchester United matchday squad today for the first time under Michael Carrick after missing the wins over Manchester City and Arsenal through injury.
What are the chances that the Dutch forward could still leave Old Trafford before tomorrow night’s transfer deadline amid ongoing links to the likes of Juventus and Roma in Serie A?
“Josh is just trying to work to get fit and get around the group,” Carrick said on Friday.
“It has been great to have him back training with the group for the first time.
“That is as far as it goes, for me and for Josh.
“I am looking forward to working with him.
“That's it, nothing else has been needed to be said.”
Carrick expecting 'tough' test against in-form Fulham
12:27 , George FloodAnother victory for Manchester United this afternoon would see Michael Carrick equal Ruben Amorim’s best-ever winning run in the job - in his first three games.
But the interim head coach is eager to play down their remarkably swift progress under his tutelage and is expecting a tough test against impressive Fulham.
"I don't think we need to make too much of it, to be honest," Carrick said on Friday. “We are where we are.
"The feeling around the group, around the squad and the results that we have had, the performances and going into the next game, I don't think the past is too relevant in that respect.
"We understand it and what has worked before and what hasn't, but really I think the boys are in a good place going into the game.
"Tough game, really tough challenge. I think Marco (Silva) has got Fulham into a really good team.
"All of a sudden it is a different game, it's Fulham and just because we are at home taking anything for granted is bang out of order, really.
"So, it might be a case it's the same flow of the game as the last two weeks. No shame in that.
“We will deal with the game in front of us and do whatever it takes for us to be able to come out on top."
Carrick 'calm' on new Man Utd signings: Never say never
12:17 , George FloodAmong a number of topics addressed ahead of Fulham’s visit, Michael Carrick was also asked about the possibility of Manchester United making any new signings before the winter transfer window closes at 7pm GMT on Monday night.
United have yet to welcome any new arrivals in this window amid their latest bout of managerial upheaval, with a planned midfield overhaul likely coming in the summer.
"To be honest, I think we're just working through it,” Carrick said.
"Never say never, of course, because a lot can happen and situations can be thrown up.
“Sometimes it's in our control, sometimes it's maybe something that's out of our control that we got to deal with.
"We're calm, I'm pretty calm.
“I think we've shown what we're capable of doing as a team and we'll just see what the next few days bring, but I'm definitely calm about it."
Carrick provides latest update on Dorgu injury
12:08 , George FloodAs mentioned, the initial reports earlier this week were that Patrick Dorgu would miss up to 10 weeks of action with a hamstring injury suffered against Arsenal.
Michael Carrick was unwilling to put an exact timeframe on it during Friday’s pre-Fulham press conference, though did confirm that the versatile Dane would be out for some time as Manchester United conduct further tests.
“Pat, unfortunately, is going to be out for a period of time,” he said.
“We are still working through how long that is going to be.
“It’s disappointing because he has had such a big couple of weeks.
“We weren't sure if it was a little bit of cramp or if it was something more serious.
“At the moment it is looking a little bit more of a serious note.
“A few weeks out. How many weeks? We will have to wait and see.
“It is disappointing for all of us and Pat, he is in such a good place but unfortunately it is part of football and something you have got to work through and get him back as soon as we can.”
Man Utd vs Fulham prediction
12:00 , George FloodThis is a big test for Manchester United in a game that could reveal a lot about where they currently are as a team, even more so than the impressive wins over Manchester City and Arsenal.
Can United get up for a game where they are considered favourites and expected to control possession?
In-form Fulham will pose a real threat going forward, but we think the hosts will use their recent momentum to come out on top once more as the Carrick train rolls on.
Man Utd to win, 3-1.
Fulham team news: Oscar Bobb debut unlikely
11:54 , George FloodMarco Silva said at his pre-match press conference that it was likely too soon to expect Oscar Bobb to make his Fulham debut at Old Trafford.
The Norwegian winger, 22, completed a £27m move from Manchester City on Friday, signing a five-and-a-half year contract at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2031 and handed the No14 shirt.
He is the first signing of a quiet January transfer window for Fulham, who remain without midfielder Sasa Lukic and striker Rodrigo Muniz due to respective hamstring injuries.
Man Utd team news: Carrick suffers Dorgu injury blow
11:48 , George FloodThe sudden feelgood factor at Manchester United under Michael Carrick has been dampened somewhat post-Arsenal by the news that Patrick Dorgu - who scored in both recent wins under the interim boss - is expected to miss up to 10 weeks with a hamstring injury suffered at the Emirates.
United remain without centre-back Matthijs de Ligt today as he continues to nurse a lower back issue that has kept him out since the win at Crystal Palace in late November.
However, Joshua Zirkzee - who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford before Monday night’s transfer deadline - is back in contention after resuming training at Carrington this week following an unspecified problem that has seen him miss both matches under Carrick thus far.
