00:00Samuel Martínez and Toby Collier were the heroes for Manchester United as they won late on at Fulham the third year in a row.
00:07Manchester United were fortunate to get away with three points here at Croydon Cottage on a late Sunday night kick-off in the Premier League.
00:13Fulham were by far the better team in the first half and probably could have gone ahead if not for some better finishing from Will Smith-Brow and Alex Owobi.
00:21Uben Amiri made five changes for the United side and defeated Rangers late in midweek.
00:26Andrew Narnia came back in goal, he had a decent performance after being tested too much.
00:31Rasmus Hollingham came in and took an attack from Joshua Xherxe, who was in the middle of a game in which he struggled just to really get involved at all.
00:38He wasn't linking up with his team-mates well at all, struggled to hold the ball up and just looked a bit disjointed from the rest of the United side.
00:45In terms of players who shone well, that would have to be United's match winner, Lisandro Martínez, and the opposite Toby Collier who impressed on the bench again
00:52and making a vital block in the dying moments of the game to ensure that Manchester United held on for a 1-0 win in Croydon Cottage.
00:59It was a very low-quality match, a game in which, like I said, Fulham had the better chances, pretty even in terms of possession.
01:05United rode their luck a little at times, like I said, defensively.
01:09Narnia never really had a proper save to make.
01:12Collier did more in terms of stopping goals going across the line than the United goalkeeper.
01:16Fulham's finishing was quite poor but United found a way.
01:20Ruben Almerey has said that his team doesn't have the character at times.
01:23They get anxious, they get scared.
01:25They are better away from home than they are at Old Trafford.
01:28United managed to do it again today. It was by hook or by crook.
01:31They didn't create enough. It's not a sustainable way for them to play.
01:35They need to improve in terms of breaking teams down, their cohesion in the final third,
01:39and just finding a way to trouble these mid-table teams who so often cause them a lot of problems.
01:45It was a similar story to the first day of the season, I suppose.
01:48United beat Fulham late on. That was for Joshua Zerzi.
01:51It was Losandro Martinez today here at Craven Cottage.
01:54It's another step in the right direction.
01:56A rare Premier League win for United.
01:58One that ends those sensational claims that they could potentially be relegated this season.
02:02They won't be relegated. It's a case of how high United could potentially finish.
02:06Performances like this will put them closer to where they want to be.
02:09There is still, obviously, a lot of work to be done.
02:11United can't get carried away.
02:13They can't pretend that just because they've won today it means that they've turned the corner or anything like that.
02:17They were fortunate. They were lucky.
02:19If they replayed that game in the same manner, they could easily have drawn.
02:21They could easily have lost as well.
02:23They didn't though. They won 1-0 at Craven Cottage.
02:25Now, Bucharest in midweek.
02:27The Stuttgart Palace at home next weekend.
02:29That will be a true engagement, possibly, of where United are at and where we've been hammering right now.
02:34Full-time from Craven Cottage.
02:36Manchester United 1-0 Fulham.
