PLAYER RATINGS: Rashford cut a frustrated figure and Kobbie Mainoo struggled
Manchester United’s unbeaten run in 2024 came to a dramatic end as Fulham secured their first win at Old Trafford in 21 years.
Calvin Bassey fired Fulham ahead, rifling in at the second attempt from Andreas Pereira’s corner.
With Rasmus Hojlund watching this one from the director’s box, United looked a shadow of the team that has been in such fine form. Omari Forson, 19, got his first Premier League start, while Alejandro Garnacho shuffled from right wing to left as Marcus Rashford went through the middle.
Harry Maguire thought he had secured a 89th minute equaliser but it was enough to secure United a point as a marauding run from Adama Traore picked out Alex Iwobi to slot in in the 97th minute.
Nathan Salt was at Old Trafford to run the rule over Erik ten Hag’s charges…
Andre Onana - 7
Made a number of crucial saves and cannot have any blame apportioned to him for the goals. United have problems but, as of right now, Onana isn’t one of them.
Victor Lindelof - 5
A thankless task trying to replace Luke Shaw, granted, but United are in for a long end to the season with no threat of an overlap on the left side with the Swede.

Diogo Dalot - 6
Grazed the post in the first half and he does at least offer United an attacking option down the right, which is no longer an option on the left with Shaw out.
Casemiro -
