Leny Yoro impressed as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Ruben Amorim made one change to his starting line up with Amad Diallo selected ahead of Diogo Dalot at right wing-back. It meant Altay Bayindir kept his place in goal from the Arsenal defeat, while Benjamin Sesko began on the bench.
United started well and almost took an early lead when Matheus Cunha fired low against the post and Bruno Fernandes forced a stop from Bernd Leno. They went close again when Cunha fired an effort straight at Leno from a few yards out. Fernandes had a golden opportunity to put his side ahead when Mason Mount was fouled in the box, but after a lengthy VAR check he blasted the penalty over the bar.
United were the better side and got their reward shortly after the restart when Leny Yoro turned the ball in from a corner with the help of a deflection. Fulham continued to fight for an equaliser and they got one when Emile Smith-Rowe connected with a good cross into the box after some poor defending from United.
Both sides pushed for a winner but in the end, there was more frustration for a United side that failed to take their chances. Here is how we rated the players at Craven Cottage:
A couple of good saves, even if they didn't always look comfortable. A concern from corners and with his distribution.

A special performance. He made an incredible recovery challenge at one end and then gave his side the lead at the other. He was let down by his teammates.

A rock in defence and also caught the eye with his distribution. He's nailed down a starting role.

He looks much better than he did last season. Calm and composed in possession and rarely troubled.
