Highlights: Fulham vs Manchester United

United didnt do well in the first 5 minutes and it was all Fulham attacking United. United could have been behind in the early minutes of the match as Luciano Vietto couldnt beat de Gea and guide it to the post. Then, Mitrovic and Schurrle, each had a chance to provide the lead for United but they both failed. Slowly, the pair of Smalling and Jones started to settle and United started pushing forward.
