Man United Wahala No Dey Finish as Dem Draw 1-1 with Fulham for Away
Manchester United still dey carry their wahala from last season enter dis new one, as dem manage only 1-1 draw against Fulham for Craven Cottage on Sunday, August 24, 2025.
Even with di plenty money wey dem spend—over £200m—for new players like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, di Red Devils still dey struggle to find their feet.
Dis match just show say their old sickness, like no control for midfield and no sharp attack, still dey disturb dem.
Na only one point dem get from two Premier League games dis season, and fans don dey tire. Dis na di full tori of wetin happen for di match and why United woes no dey finish.
From di whistle, United show say dem mean business. Inside di first two minutes, Matheus Cunha, one of di new boys, nearly score as him shot from Mason Mount pass hit di post.
Di ball just miss by small, and Red Devils fans for stadium and house begin dey shout.
Cunha get another chance later, but Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, wey dey sharp like razor, save am well. United dey press high, and e be like say dem go dominate.
But as time dey go, di same old problem wey dey worry dem show face—midfield scatter. Fulham begin find space, especially through Alex Iwobi, wey dey cause wahala for United defense.
Josh King too test United keeper Altay Bayindir, wey dey try to prove say him fit take Andre Onana place.
Big moment come for first half when VAR give United penalty. Na Calvin Bassey foul Mason Mount for corner, and referee point to di spot.
Everybody think say na chance for United to take lead, but Bruno Fernandes, di captain, blast di penalty over di bar like person wey dey vex.
Fernandes talk later say referee disturb am small before di kick, but him admit say na him mess up.
Dat miss pain Manchester Utd fans well well, as e be like say dem waste golden opportunity. Fulham no gree back down, as dem too get chances.
Iwobi fire one shot wey Bayindir save, and King head one corner wey just go wide. First half end 0-0, and United players waka enter dressing room with head down.
Second half start, and Manchester Utd finally get their goal for 58th minute.Na young defender Leny Yoro head corner wey Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz mistakenly turn into him own net.
But di goal no clean, as replays show say Yoro push Bassey before di header.Fulham fans and players vex, but referee let di goal stand. United fans think say dem don get di three points, but Fulham no gree surrender.
For 73rd minute, substitute Emile Smith Rowe, wey just come from Arsenal, tap in fine cross from Iwobi to equalize. Di goal scatter Manchester Utd defense, as dem no fit mark Smith Rowe wey sneak in behind.
United try to fight back, and late for di game, Harry Maguire head one corner wey go wide. Di match end 1-1, and both teams share di points, still dey find their first win of di season.
Di draw show all di wahala wey dey disturb United. Fulham’s 3-5-1-1 formation choke United midfield, where Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo no fit control things. Iwobi dey run through gaps like water, and United no fit keep possession.
Coach Ruben Amorim talk after match say di team pressing no good, and dem give Fulham too much space to attack.
Even with new players like Cunha, Mbeumo, and Sesko, United attack no sharp. Sesko no even get one clear chance, and Mbeumo dey try but no fit break Fulham defense.
Di own goal wey dem score na just luck, as dem no create enough chances from open play. United concede 12 shots, with Bayindir making four saves, showing say their defense still dey leak.
Fans dey shout “attack, attack” for di last minutes, as dem tire of seeing di same story—too few goals, too many chances wey dem give away. Dis result put big pressure on Amorim, wey don dey face criticism since him join.
United next games na tough ones—Manchester City away and Chelsea at home—and if dem no fix their midfield and attack, more wahala go come.
For now, United dey play like mid-table team, and di hope wey fans get for new season don dey fade small small. Di Red Devils need to wake up fast, or dis season go be like di last one—full of disappointment.
