Manchester United want to make it three wins on the bounce under recent boss Michael Carrick against Fulham this afternoon.
After a derby victory over Manchester City, United stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal on the Emirates last weekend with Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha each heading in the right direction with sensational efforts.
Dorgu was nonetheless forced off later within the second-half with a hamstring injury.
While United are still assessing the extent of the problem, it’s believed to be a grade 2 hamstring tear which could sideline the Denmark international for eight to 10 weeks.
Dorgu has been sensational in a more advanced role under Carrick, starring on the left along with his absence leaving the United boss along with his first problem to unravel.
While not a natural winger, Cunha has excelled off the bench against City and Arsenal and will certainly come into the side today.
Benjamin Sesko scored three goals in two appearances under Darren Fletcher but continues to be to start out under Carrick. Bryan Mbeumo has excelled in his role through the center and bringing in Sesko would require a reshuffle that would see Amad dropped to the bench.
