Manchester United v Fulham | Sunday 28th May 2023 | 4.30pm | Old Trafford | #MUNFUL
The opposition
- With the Carabao Cup and a Champions League place in the bank, Manchester United will surely consider the 2022/23 campaign a successful one.
- Another domestic trophy remains up for grabs, though, with the first ever Manchester derby FA Cup Final taking place next month. With rivals City chasing the treble, motivation will be incredibly high for the red side of the city to remain the only team to have achieved that feat.
- It remains to be seen how strong a side Erik ten Hag will field on Sunday. On the one hand, only a win will guarantee third place, but any injuries or suspensions picked up ahead of the cup final a week later would be a disaster for United.

Player insight
Tom Cairney knows it would be a special end of the season if Fulham can break our Premier League points record with a victory on Sunday.
“We broke a few records this season, but to get that would be magnificent, especially at that stadium,” he told FFCtv. “We’ve played Man U twice this year, been unlucky twice, but they’re a top team so it will be difficult.”
