Manchester United vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates, Leno makes crucial save

Less than 20 minutes remain and we are still waiting for the first goal of the new campaign. Matthijs de Ligt was trying to prepare himself for the potential when Erik ten Hag made a double change, but surely the Manchester United manager will consider further changes at this juncture?

Shouts of disappointment from the travelling Fulham fans – what a real waste of Andreas Pereira! The former Manchester United player goes wide just wide of the half after Rodrigo Muniz catches Lisandro Martinez out of position, with the Argentine defender putting himself on the keeper with a slide tackle. This leaves Harry Maguire open to both Pereira and Alex Iwobi, who have the freedom to push forward down the left.

Pereira was trying to pass the ball to his team-mate but his ball was cut out. There was no need for his pass to be in the same postcode as Maguire – the centre-back made a superb save at the end, but it was a real relief for the home side.

First change for the visitors, and Emile Smith Rowe comes off his debut. Club captain Tom Cairney takes his place in midfield.

Rodrigo Muniz tried something similar, a daring overhead kick that was off target but hit Koby Manu’s clavicle dangerously. Andre Onana made sure it went over his crossbar.

This would give Manchester United a bit more of an identity, with Bruno Fernandes dropping into the hole alongside Joshua Zirkzee up top and Alejandro Garnacho replacing Diallo on the right wing.

Just two changes for now. Amad Dialou and Mason Mount, who are limping a bit due to a sore ankle, have been replaced by Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho.

It looks like Joshua Zirkzee will soon be making his Premier League debut with us, with the striker stepping out on the instructions of Erik Ten Hag. A few more Manchester United options are also preparing for their entrance as Ten Hag prepares to throw the dice for the first time this season.

The noise grew louder when Amad Diallo won a corner. Fulham half-cleared it but Koby Manu had a good shot from 20 yards soon after. The ball was slightly scratched and fell wide of Bernd Leno’s goal.

And for Mason Mount that moment almost arrived! Marcus Rashford threatened with pace and purpose for the first time all night, and Mount got his way in time to rattle Bernd Leno’s calves from close range.

Noussair Mazraoui waited for his teammate to arrive to prepare a throw-in and eventually found the retreating Bruno Fernandes and was fouled. The referee played an advantage which the hosts failed to capitalise on and then Adama Traore was brought down by Marcus Rashford at the other end.

Andreas Pereira’s clip is easily taken by Andre Onana, but Manchester United need to reset and restart.
