Manchester United will entertain Fulham at Old Trafford this Sunday at 2pm. After a strong start under Michael Carrick, the Red Devils will look to go three from three under their new interim manager. After a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester City, followed by a 3-2 victory<\/a> over league leaders Arsenal, the Red Devils are full of confidence.<\/p>\n

Marco Silva’s Fulham sit seventh in the Premier League. After a slow start, they have picked up eight points this year, as well as a win in the FA Cup. Last time out, they had to rely on a stunning free kick from the in-form Harry Wilson to beat Brighton 2-1 at home.<\/p>\n

Here is the latest team news and predicted lineup for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Fulham – Team News and Predicted Line Up<\/h2>\n

Team News<\/h3>\n

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Michael Carrick confirmed a number of absentees. We saw Patrick Dorgu limp off after a great game against Arsenal. The Athletic confirmed<\/a> that he is set to miss roughly 10 weeks of action with a hamstring injury. This means Carrick will be forced to change his starting lineup. Commenting on Dorgu’s injury, Carrick noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, he’s going to be out for a period of time. We’re still working through how long that’s going to be. So, we’ll have to see, you know, disappointing, he’s had such a big couple of weeks, Pat. So, we weren’t sure whether it was a little bit of cramp or whether it was something a little bit more serious and at the moment it looks a little bit more on the serious note.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Carrick also confirmed that Matthijs de Ligt remains stuck on the sidelines with a back injury. Joshua Zirkezee also remains out.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for Silva’s Fulham, Sasa Lukic missed the Brighton game due to an injury and is unlikely to feature against United. Rodrigo Muniz has been out since November with a hamstring injury and will miss the trip to Manchester. <\/span>Kenny Tete is expected to return, having last featured on New Year’s Day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Big January signing, Oscar Bobb, is still battling a hamstring injury picked up in December. This Sunday’s match is unlikely to see the Norway international make his debut.<\/span><\/p>\n
