Casemiro shines but warning signs for Man Utd amid devastating attack against Fulham

Casemiro scored one and set up another as Manchester United beat Fulham 3-2.

Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage-time winner saw United’s revival continue in dramatic fashion as they moved back into the Premier League’s top four.

United, 2-0 up after goals in either half from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha, looked to have blown a comfortable win as Raul Jimenez pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 85th minute before substitute Kevin scored a beauty in the first of nine minutes added on.

But just moments later United were celebrating again as substitute Sesko rifled the ball beyond Bernd Leno.

Carrick has instilled in his side a desire to get forward and with the attacking players that he has at his disposal, they have already unsettled the best teams in the league.

Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, especially the latter, cause havoc for the Fulham defence with their runs while Matheus Cunha added pace and precision with his movement.

The team was well supported going forward especially through Casemiro who is producing his best form in a United shirt and is a constant threat from set plays with his ability in the air.

While the Brazilian also neatly threaded through an assistant for Cunha with a no-look pass.

Ruben Amorim managed to put together a three-match winning run only once in his 47 games in charge of United.

Carrick has now down it in his opening three fixtures, having delivered a marked change in atmosphere around Old Trafford. United are once again playing with freedom – round pegs in round holes producing sharp attacking football.

But there were warning signs here as they threatened to throw it away late on against a Fulham side who had offered little for much of the afternoon. United’s nerves were noticable after Jimenez’s penalty gave Fulham late hope.

The cheer that went up when the final whistle finally went after 12 minutes of stoppage time was as much about relief as celebration as United pulled it out of the fire.
