Manchester United could achieve an unprecedented club feat when they meet Fulham in Sunday's Premier League contest at Craven Cottage.
Ruben Amorim's men will come face-to-face with a London side twice in the space of two weeks after an agonising 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last Sunday, where Riccardo Calafiori's header made the difference.
The Italian capitalised on Altay Bayindir's unconvincing goalkeeping to nod home a Declan Rice corner, but on the balance of play, Man United could count themselves unfortunate not to have taken at least a point from the blockbuster clash.
New recruits Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha carried the fight to the Gunners throughout the 90 minutes, although they were unable to beat an inspired David Raya, who put in a man-of-the-match display with seven saves at the Theatre of Dreams.
Nevertheless, Amorim and co had plenty of positives to reflect on for Sunday's trip to Craven Cottage, where a familiar victory would set a new club record.
Man United aiming for record winning streak in Fulham clash
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim on August 17, 2025
Man United have won each of their last eight Premier League matches away to Fulham, and they could now beat a single opponent in nine straight league games on the road for the first time in their history.
Lisandro Martinez's solitary goal propelled the Red Devils to a 1-0 success in this fixture during the 2024-25 season, and it has been almost exactly 15 years since Man United last failed to win a Premier League match at Craven Cottage.
The last time the Red Devils were denied victory away to Fulham came under Sir Alex Ferguson in August 2010, where Brede Hangeland rescued a point for the Cottagers in a 2-2 draw five minutes after scoring an own goal.
Since then, Man United have scored 18 goals while conceding just three in their last eight games at Craven Cottage, where they have picked up their only three wins from their last 23 Premier League matches away to London clubs.
Fulham vs. Man United: What selection dilemmas is Amorim facing for Premier League clash?
Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko on August 17, 2025
After last weekend's battling display against a possible title contender, Amorim may see no need to shuffle the pack, but the Portuguese is still facing some critical selection dilemmas in all areas of the field.
New striker Benjamin Sesko made his Premier League debut as a second-half substitute against Arsenal, and the Slovenian should now come into consideration for a first start, most likely over Mason Mount.
Amorim may also consider an alteration at right wing-back, where Diogo Dalot completed just 55 minutes of the defeat to the Gunners before being replaced by the more attack-minded Amad Diallo.
As Fulham could be without both recognised left-backs in Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon due to injury, Amorim may aim to exploit the Cottagers' shortages in that area of the field by starting Diallo, who would most likely come up against Calvin Bassey out wide.
Further back, the Man United boss has offered no guarantees over whether Andre Onana or Bayindir will start in goal after the latter's mistake against Arsenal, but the consensus is that Onana will most likely return.
