Man Utd preview: Dorgu disappointment
Patick Dorgu was one of Man Utd's best players in the victories over Man City and Arsenal, but the young full-back turned winger is now reportedly set for ten weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Dorgu joins Matthijs de Ligt in the treatment room but Joshua Zirkzee is back in contention following his return to training.
Predicted lineup: Lammens (GK), Dalot, Martinez, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo, Amad
Last five results
- Arsenal 2-3 Man Utd
- Man Utd 2-0 Man City
- Man Utd 1-2 Brighton
- Burnley 1-1 Man Utd
- Leeds 1-1 Man Utd
Fulham preview: Too early for Bobb?
New signing from Manchester City, Ocar Bobb, could well make the squad this weekend but a start feels unlikely given he only signed for the club on Friday. Kenny Tete is back available following an inury layoff, but Rodrigo Muniz and Sasa Lukic remain out.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Berge, Iwobi, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze, Jimenez
Last five results
- Fulham 2-1 Brighton
- Leeds 1-0 Fulham
- Fulham 3-1 Middlesbrough
- Fulham 2-1 Chelsea
- Fulham 2-2 Liverpool
Player to watch: Matheus Cunha
Matheus Cunha has been excellent as an impact sub during Michael Carrick's first two games in charge of Manchester United, but he is expected to start this one with Patrick Dorgu injured. It will be hard for him to top the goal he netted at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, but the Brazilian will certainly give it his best effort.
