Manchester United faces Fulham with defensive changes expected

Manchester United will visit Fulham this Sunday at Craven Cottage, with a focus on defensive adjustments following a recent League Cup defeat to Brighton. Luke Shaw’s fitness is a pivotal concern, potentially impacting the full-back selections. Manager Michael Carrick may reinstate several players rested during the cup match, including Senne Lammens in goal and a center-back partnership of Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez. The midfield could feature Kobbie Mainoo and Youri Tielemans as they look to regain control after their recent setback. The attacking unit is expected to see Bruno Fernandes in his usual role, with Marcus Rashford and Bryan Mbeumo flanking Matheus Cunha up front. Shaw's availability could significantly influence the final lineup.
