Manchester United take on Fulham in Sunday’s Premier League game at Craven Cottage.
The Red Devils have had a disappointing start to the season, and they have already suffered three defeats across all competitions.
United recently exited the Carabao Cup in the third round after relinquishing a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion at home.
Manager Michael Carrick continues to retain the board’s faith, but his position could come under scrutiny if United don’t beat Fulham.
The club have picked up just four points from as many league games this term, and need to return to winning ways at Craven Cottage.
Ahead of the clash, Carrick could make a big decision upfront after Benjamin Sesko’s lacklustre showing in the League Cup in midweek.
The Slovenian was picked to lead the line over Matheus Cunha, and he had a game to forget.
Sesko was guilty of losing possession 13 times and won only 50 percent of his aerial duels.
One of his aerial challenges lost contributed to Brighton scoring the equaliser.
The 22-year-old was also slow with his decision-making and was almost stationary during a counter-attack against Brighton at Old Trafford.
Sesko is expected to be dropped to the bench on Sunday, and Carrick will most certainly pick Cunha to start as the makeshift centre-forward, in our view.
The Brazil international has not been at his best in the early weeks of the season, and he has still registered a couple of assists in the league.
The 27-year-old will be keen to prove himself and should relish the challenge against Fulham, given his excellent record against them over the years.
Cunha has netted four goals and provided an assist in six previous meetings; the majority of those came during his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
This has included three goals at Craven Cottage, and it appears a no-brainer decision to start him upfront against the west London outfit this weekend.
