Manchester United confirm Rúben Amorim XI vs Fulham as Rasmus Højlund returns

Manchester United have confirmed that Rúben Amorim has reinstated Rasmus Højlund to the starting line-up as they face Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend with a trip to Fulham, as both sides look to overcome their recent struggles.

Rúben Amorim’s men head into the match buoyed by a last-gasp victory over Rangers, with Bruno Fernandes delivering a spectacular winner. However, their domestic form remains a significant concern.

United’s last league outing ended in a deflating 3-1 loss to Brighton, leaving them 13th in the table—10 points above the relegation zone but a hefty 14 points off the Champions League places.

After two wins and a defeat in their recent home fixtures, United will be desperate to carry the momentum from their European triumph into this London clash. With three points now essential, anything less than victory at Craven Cottage will pile further pressure on the team.

The XIs have been confirmed below, with Amorim starting Rasmus Højlund as part of the attacking line.
