Fulham's players are still trying to adapt to Alvaro Arbeloa's methods, having not won in the league under him yet.
The Cottagers have come up trumps in two cup games under the Spaniard though, albeit against lower-league opposition.
Nonetheless, Arbeloa will take encouraging signs from the midweek victory and will hope his side can take advantage of Man United's poor form here.
Ryan Sessegnon could return from injury too which would be a boost to Fulham's ranks, although he needs to be assessed in training.
As for Man United, Michael Carrick is suddenly coming under increasing pressure heading into the international break.
Failure to win here would make it just two victories in seven games in all competitions this season (D1, L3), which is not the start the club would have wanted after an impressive 2026.
Indeed, Carrick has matched the likes of Arsenal and Man City for points in the Premier League but is already way off the pace this season being eight points behind the league leaders.
He could be boosted though by the potential return of Luke Shaw and Carlos Baleba from injury, with both having a “chance” of playing.

Whispers predicts: Fulham 2-2 Manchester United
Man United are 11/10 (2.10) favourites with bookies, but given their poor form of late, we are happy to back against them.
The Draw at 29/10 (3.90) appeals in this case, while BTTS – Yes at 8/15 (1.53) could expose defensive frailties in both sides.
Having both been involved in five-goal matches in the cup in midweek too, Over 3.5 goals at 7/5 (2.40) could also be worth a punt.
Overall, we are predicting a 2-2 draw, which is available at 12/1 (13.00).
> BTTS – Yes at 1.53 | Likelihood: High
> Over 3.5 goals at 2.40 | Likelihood: Medium
> Draw at 3.90 | Likelihood: Low
