Will Carrick lead the Red Devils to their next victory?
After two consecutive wins, Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick now has the chance to lead the Red Devils to three league wins in a row for only the second time this season – the foundation for this is his impressive debut with wins against Man City and Arsenal. In the table, both clubs are not far apart – United are in fourth place with 38 points, Fulham in seventh with 34.
Both clubs are characterized by their consistency in scoring, with the Red Devils scoring in their last twelve competitive games and the Cottagers in 13 of their last 14. Our Manchester United vs. Fulham tip is therefore “Both teams to score.”
Manchester United go into this game in solid form and with a clearly positive record against Fulham. The Red Devils have lost only one of their last 20 Premier League games against the Cottagers and are currently unbeaten in six league games, with three wins and three draws. The club’s last longer unbeaten run was at the beginning of 2022. In our Manchester United vs. Fulham prediction, we are betting on another win for the Red Devils.
Under Michael Carrick, United are also showing clear progress: both league games have been won during his current tenure, with Carrick collecting a total of ten points in four Premier League games. Another win would equal his longest winning streak. The individual form of certain players is also striking. Patrick Dorgu has been directly involved in goals in five of the last seven league games and has been one of the most impressive players in the league since the end of December in terms of creating chances, winning the ball and drawing fouls.
Fulham are currently in impressive form and are one of the strongest teams in the league. In their last eight Premier League games, the Cottagers have collected 17 points, the same number as in their first 15 games of the season combined. Never before has Fulham earned so many points in an eight-game period in a single season. Fulham is also making a statement in the head-to-head comparison, as after the draw in the first leg, they have the chance to remain unbeaten in both league games against Manchester United for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
Harry Wilson stands out in particular in attack, having been involved in ten goals in his last eleven league appearances and averaging a goal or assist every 141 minutes this season. He has also scored in four of the last five games.

Manchester United – Fulham Tip
Manchester United won their last two games under Carrick and impressed with their high-quality attacking football.
Bryan Mbeumo scored for the Red Devils in both games, which is why the Manchester United vs. Fulham betting odds for another goal from him are not unreasonable. In addition, the Red Devils have lost only one of their last 20 PL games against Fulham and are unbeaten in the league in six games.
But the Cottagers are also in good form, losing only one of their last eight Premier League games, and they have been very consistent in front of goal, scoring in 13 of their last 14 competitive games. However, they remain vulnerable away from home, winning only three of their eleven league games.
