Here are five things we discovered from Manchester United’s Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday at Old Trafford.

Manchester United and Fulham met at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon in a dismal match that Fulham won 2-1.

Calvin Bassey of Fulham opened the score despite opportunities for both teams.

Then, in the 88th minute, Harry Maguire gave United a response by scoring off a rebound after Bernd Leno had miscued a shot.

Alex Iwobi’s goal against the run of play in the 96th minute gave Fulham all three points. As a result, the Cottagers earned their victory.

Here are five things we learned…

Erik ten Hag has a real problem on his hands

The result on Saturday had been coming, with poor performances being ignored in the face of a run of wins.

Despite the winning streak lately, there was an underlying concern that the team weren’t playing well with Luton Town outplaying the Reds last week.

The performance was once again awful against Fulham and the loss is no less than deserved for that soulless display by United.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will not be happy watching that display and Ten Hag has a lot of work to do.

Rasmus Hojlund’s absence is felt

Manchester United may have a few big players missing right now, but the absence of Rasmus Hojlund was felt sorely in this game.

With no focal point to hold the ball up, United struggled for large periods of the game to cause Fulham any real difficulty.

To make this worse, his replacement up front – Marcus Rashford – was practically invisible up top.

A serious problem for Ten Hag to solve heading into a crucial FA Cup tie midweek and then the dreaded Manchester Derby.

Andre Onana has another fantastic outing

As United struggled to really get going, Fulham were all over the home side like a rash with multiple goal attempts.

These were all refuted by Andre Onana as the United goalkeeper was once more solid in goal despite conceding what was an unstoppable finish by Bassey, and also the late dagger by Iwobi.

Ultimately without the Cameroonian on form, Fulham could’ve scored a bagful more than the two goals they managed. The goalkeeper can’t be blamed for this loss with the blame firmly at the feet of the boss.

Harry Maguire impresses fans despite loss

The man who has on so many occasions been disrespected in his time at Manchester United has once again proven his worth.

A standout throughout the game as he thrived keeping Fulham at bay before having a deciding moment in the 89th minute.

Maguire scored late on to draw the two sides level, showing all the attacking instinct of a world-class striker.

United’s poor performances caught up with them

Manchester United have been on a run lately of somehow scrapping wins when undeserved and it looked as though this would be the case again after Maguire’s goal.

But Fulham deserved all three points and that’s what they got at Old Trafford on Saturday as Alex Iwobi punished a stretched United side and scored the winner in the 96th minute.

It was always coming and United cannot complain after a performance like that which Ten Hag ultimately should be embarrassed by.
