Another convincing performance? That’s the question surrounding Manchester United as they prepare for their trip to Craven Cottage on Saturday. Despite an opening-weekend defeat to Arsenal, the Red Devils looked revitalized under Ruben Amorim, dominating the xG battle (1.60 vs 0.90) and creating more dangerous moments than their opponents. With several high-profile attacking reinforcements, United arrive in West London as clear favorites.The club’s summer rebuild has injected firepower into an attack that struggled last season. Bryan Mbeumo, the Premier League’s third-best scorer in 2024/25, and Matheus Cunha both started against Arsenal, while Benjamin Šeško came off the bench. Together with Bruno Fernandes and Amadou Onana in midfield, United look far more dynamic and unpredictable going forward.What’s clear is Amorim’s imprint: his 3-4-3 system produced intensity, pressing, and chance creation in abundance. United recorded the most shots (22) and the most touches in the opposition penalty area (36) on Matchday 1 — a stark contrast to the slow, predictable play that haunted them in recent seasons.Marco Silva’s Fulham earned a 1-1 draw against Brighton in their opener, but the stats told a different story. The Cottagers conceded far too much space and allowed a high xG per shot, something United’s new frontline will be eager to exploit. With Raul Jiménez still struggling for form and creative output limited, Fulham face an uphill battle against an opponent that has historically dominated this fixture.Manchester United have won all eight of their last Premier League visits to Fulham. A ninth consecutive away victory against the same opponent would set a club record. In fact, across all competitions, the Cottagers have beaten United just once in their last 22 meetings.With Amorim’s side already looking sharper in attack and Fulham struggling to keep opponents out of dangerous areas, the most logical play is on United scoring at least twice.

又一场令人信服的表演？这是围绕着曼联的问题，因为他们正在为周六的克雷文小屋之旅做准备。尽管首战周末输给了阿森纳，但在阿莫里姆的带领下，红魔似乎恢复了活力，在xG大战中占据了主导地位（1.60比0.90），创造了比对手更多的危险时刻。随着几名引人注目的进攻增援，曼联抵达西伦敦是一个明显的热门。俱乐部夏天的重建为上赛季挣扎的进攻注入了火力。在对阵阿森纳的比赛中，英超射手榜第三的布莱恩·姆博莫和马修斯·库尼亚都首发出场，本杰明Šeško替补出场。再加上布鲁诺·费尔南德斯和阿马杜·奥纳纳在中场，曼联的前场看起来更加有活力和不可预测。显而易见的是阿莫里姆的印记：他的3-4-3阵型带来了强度、压力和大量的机会创造。在第1比赛日，曼联在对方禁区内射门次数最多（22次），触球次数最多（36次），这与近几个赛季困扰他们的缓慢、可预测的打法形成鲜明对比。马尔科席尔瓦的富勒姆在首场比赛中1-1战平布莱顿，但数据却告诉我们一个不同的故事。农场主们让出了太多的空间，给了他们很高的射门命中率，这是曼联新锋线渴望利用的东西。由于劳尔·吉米内斯的状态仍在苦苦挣扎，创造力也有限，富勒姆将面临一场艰难的战斗，对手是历史上统治这一赛事的对手。曼联在最近的英超联赛中对富勒姆的8场比赛都取得了胜利。连续9次客场战胜同一对手将创造俱乐部纪录。事实上，在所有比赛中，村民队在最近22次交锋中只击败过曼联一次。阿莫里姆的球队在进攻上已经显得更加犀利，富勒姆也在努力将对手挡在危险区域之外，最合理的安排是曼联至少进两球。
