A goal in stoppage time by young Argentine forward Alejandro Garnacho gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Fulham on Sunday in the last match of the 16th round of the Premier League, in which Unay Emery's Aston Villa won a second consecutive victory with a 2-1 win in Brighton.
In the last match before the World Cup break, United needed the three points to stay close to the top group, and started well in the match against Fulham by opening the scoring with a goal from Danish player Christian Eriksen (14).
But just past the hour mark, Daniel James equalized for Fulham (9th) by tapping in from close range after a cross from the left (66).

There are doubts regarding the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was absent in the middle of the week due to an illness, according to Ten Hag. Regardless, Manchester United has alternatives to replace the scorer, such as Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford. In addition, Antony is a doubt and if he doesn't recover, Alejandro Garnacho could have some minutes.
On the other hand, Fulham left a good impression against Manchester City. The London team came close to stealing a point at the Etihad, but a goal in the final minute meant a 2-1 defeat. To face the 'Red Devils', Marco Silva will rely on Carlos Vinicius, who has the difficult task of replacing top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic.
