Fulham v Man United: Predictions, tips, bet builder as Red Devils look to avoid a 35-year low

Manchester United will be looking to avoid their worst run of results in 35 years when they travel to Fulham on Sunday (1900 GMT).
On paper, things seem to be looking up for the Red Devils. Ruben Amorim’s men won three of their last four games across competitions and only lost one in five.
However, when it comes to the Premier League, United are in dire straits. The club have lost six of their previous nine league matches and if they lose against Fulham, it will be their first run of seven defeats from 10 since the 1988/89 campaign.
It feels like a long time since teams feared the visit of Manchester United. Now, the likes of Fulham will be relishing taking on the Red Devils – especially with the London outfit looking to challenge for European positions.
Here, we take a closer look at Sunday’s encounter and pick out some of the best bets.
Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Fulham vs Man United bet builder
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime – 16/5
Man United draw no bet
The bookmakers have priced Fulham as the favourites for this match at around the 13/10 mark. In truth, this could be the first time ever that United are underdogs for a match at Craven Cottage.
With United offering more value for your buck and with the team coming into this game on the back of three wins from four, we’re sticking with the visitors.
Due to their unpredictability, you may want to think about a level of security. The draw no bet market certainly ticks that box.
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime
Bruno Fernandes is arguably the only world level footballer that Amorim has at his disposal. Everyone else wouldn’t look out of place at a low-level Premier League outfit. Not that we think about it, United are a low-level outfit, currently sitting in the bottom half of the table.
Fernandes has scored four career goals against Fulham and arrives in London in good form. The Portuguese star scored three goals in four games – including a stoppage time winner against Rangers.
Over 2.5 goals
This is a bet which lands consistently in matches featuring both Fulham and Manchester United.
The Cottagers, for instance, saw over 2.5 goals in five of their last six. United, meanwhile, have seen the bet land in four of their last five.
Fulham to score first
United have conceded the first match goal in eight of their last nine Premier League matches. With that in mind, Fulham to score first makes sense.
The Red Devils would then be forced to complete a comeback, which isn’t beyond them considering they have won each of their last seven Premier League visits to Fulham.
