Fulham opened their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning goal in the 87th minute, securing Man United’s victory.

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey featured for Fulham in the match, with the former starting in midfield and latter playing at center-back.

Despite their efforts, Fulham struggled to create scoring opportunities and were ultimately undone by the United substitute’s clinical finish.

Iwobi showed flashes of his skill and vision, but Fulham’s attack was largely stifled by Manchester United’s defense.

Meanwhile, Bassey had a solid game at the back, making several important tackles and interceptions, but was unable to prevent Zirkzee’s goal.

The match was a tight and competitive affair, with both teams creating chances in the first half.

However, Manchester United’s pressure paid off in the second half, and Zirkzee’s goal proved to be the difference maker.

Fulham will look to bounce back from this defeat in their next match, while Manchester United will aim to build on this winning start.
