LONDON: Manchester United remain without a Premier League win this season after being held 1-1 at Fulham on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s United were left to rue Bruno Fernandes’ wayward first-half penalty as they were pegged back at Craven Cottage.
Rodrigo Muniz’s own-goal put United in front on the hour mark, but Emile Smith Rowe came off the bench to rescue a point for Fulham.
“After the (United) goal we were just thinking about the result. We were OK until the goal and then we were not smart in that moment,” said Amorim.
The Portuguese coach is under pressure to show improvements after a disastrous 15th-placed finish last season, but so far his new £200 million (about RM1.13 billion) forward line of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, who again started on the bench, is yet to fire.
Despite an encouraging performance, United lost 1-0 to title-chasing Arsenal in their season opener last weekend and will feel another two points slipped away in west London. – AFP
