Fulham 0-1 Manchester United Player Ratings: Lisandro Martinez’s solitary goal helps Ruben Amorim’s team secure full three points

Manchester United beat Fulham 0-1 at the Craven Cottage on Sunday in the 23rd game of the Premier League courtesy to a 78-minute goal from Lisandro Martinez. The Dutch player will consider himself lucky for the goal as it went in after a deflection from Fulham’s Lukic but its quite clear that Martinez’s influence in attack has increased since the arrival of the new manager Ruben Amorim.

The game hardly had any chances until the defender handed Manchester United the lead. Ruben Amorim would also be thankful to the substitute Toby Collyer for keeping the game level when he headed Joachim Andersen’s header off the line. Attacker Amad Diallo had scored another goal for the Red Devils in the stoppage time but was ruled out. This is the second time under Amorim that United has not conceded a goal and the first time was against Everton in December.

Lets have a look at Fulham vs Manchester United player ratings.
