Manchester United host Fulham on Sunday in the final Premier League fixtures of the campaign.
For both sides it’s a relatively meaningless encounter given United secured a top-four finish on Thursday night, courtesy of a 4-1 victory over Chelsea. The win means the Red Devils will play in the Champions League next season, and all that’s left to decide on the final day is whether United finish third or fourth. A win will secure the former, while Newcastle United, who are currently two points behind in fourth place, conclude their 2022/23 campaign at Stamford Bridge.
As for Fulham, they will finish 10th regardless of the result on Sunday. The London club have enjoyed a superb first season back in the top flight after gaining promotion from the Championship 12 months ago.
Despite that, United have won both previous meetings against Fulham this campaign. Alejandro Garnacho’s injury-time winner settled the points at Craven Cottage in November, while United won 3-1 in the FA Cup quarter-final two months ago, a game that will be remembered for a Fulham collapse after Willian and Aleksandar Mitrovic were sent off in the 72nd minute.
Meanwhile, two ex-United men currently on the books at Fulham, are injury concerns for the game. As for United, they suffered a fresh injury problem on Thursday as Antony picked up an injury that Ten Hag described as ‘serious’, and the Brazilian looks set to miss next week’s FA Cup final as a result.
Below, we’ve rounded up all the injury team news ahead of Sunday’s meeting at Old Trafford.
