Manchester United’s trip to Craven Cottage turned out to be a nightmare in one distinct moment as Captain Bruno Fernandez didn’t change the perfect opportunity in a match where he blows up a key penalty on the bar and ultimately ended goalless.
The drama unfolded when United was awarded a spot kick following a VAR intervention after Calvin Bassy put Mason Mount in the box and then United was awarded a spot kick following a var intervention.
A strange distraction occurred as Fernandez moved forward in an attempt to break the deadlock.
The incident caused an animation exchange, delaying the kick and visibly destabilizing Fernandez. After a while, the penalty sailed over the crossbar.
Bruno Fernandez had a moment of forgetting about Fulham
Before the penalty incident, both sides were testing each other with promising spells.
Matheus Cunha hit the post and missed a great opportunity to score while Fulham looked dangerous from the set piece situation.
The psychological blow of missing such important opportunities is looming. If United are turning the tide and causing momentum, someone has to step up and go faster.
Man United has options on the bench waiting for striker Benjamin Sesco to have the opportunity to show his talent.
The striker also started on the bench against Arsenal last week, and this week is the same for him.
Amorims are free to have enough talent to turn things around, but they also need to be vigilant against the threat of Fulham posing.
The Man United star came into the news from the pitch this week, with reports of the move to Saudi Arabia.
