Bruno and Dalot became Manchester United's sinners

in the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham away. Bruno Fernandez missed a penalty, while Dalot, who came on as a substitute, made a fatal mistake, causing the team to be equalized by the opponent.

Although he spent more than 200 million euros to sign up this summer, Manchester United still did not score in the first two rounds of the league in the new season. The team's first "goal" in the 2025/26 season actually came from an own goal from the opponent.

Continuous competitions made the team tired, and captain Bruno Fernandez performed far below expectations. He made many passes and made mistakes, and even shot the ball directly into the stands at the penalty spot, missing an excellent chance to score. Diogo Dalot, who came on as a substitute, also made a low-level mistake, creating opportunities for Fulham's goal. Forward Benjamin Sheshko, who was introduced for 74 million euros, started in the second half, but failed to complete a shot in the whole game. After two rounds of matches, Manchester United only scored 1 point and ranked 16th in the Premier League. The Red Devils will usher in the League Cup against the fourth-level team Greensby in the middle of next week, and are expected to take this opportunity to end the goal drought.

Bruno lost points, Manchester United lost a goal, and Manchester United's opening performance was acceptable in the away game. Mason Mount, who served as the pseudo-Nine, actively ran and cooperated with his teammates. In the second minute of the game, the English midfielder made a precise pass, and Mattus Cunia shot near the penalty area line, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and bounced out. In the 14th minute, goalkeeper Artay Beindel scored a big kick and found Cunia accurately, but the Brazilian striker failed to seize the opportunity when facing goalkeeper Lenno one-on-one and missed the opportunity again.

After wasting excellent opportunities twice in a row, Manchester United got a penalty kick in the 36th minute. The referee confirmed through video replay that Mount was knocked down in the penalty area and awarded a penalty kick. However, the penalty kick taken by captain Bruno Fernandez flew high into the stands, disappointing fans.

Manchester United's defense line is in danger again and relying on luck to ensure the goal is not lost in the first half. In contrast, Fulham has caused great trouble for Manchester United by relying on his tough midfield battle. The home team frequently uses corner kicks to threaten Manchester United goals. Fulham won five corner kicks in the first half, but Byindel failed to effectively control the landing point. It was all due to luck that allowed Manchester United to bring 0-0 into the halftime break.

After the start of the second half, although Manchester United strengthened its offense, it was difficult to break the deadlock in the face of Fulham's intensive defense. In the 52nd minute, coach Ruben Amorin made an adjustment and replaced Casemiro with Sheshko, while allowing Dalot to come on as a substitute and replace Amad Diallo.

Sheshko has not shown his power yet, but Fulham scored first in the 58th minute. Former Brentford player Bumiyo took a corner kick, and Yoro headed the ball, hitting home team forward Rodrigo Muniz and then changed into the net. The Premier League official recorded this goal as Muniz's own goal.

The joy of Manchester United fans has not lasted for too long. In the 74th minute, Dalot's bad stop was cut off by his opponent, and Fulham quickly launched a counterattack. Emil Smith Rowe quickly stepped forward after receiving the ball from the left, receiving a pass from another former Arsenal player, Alex Iwobi, and pushed the ball from close range, but Byindel responded without any response. In the final stage of the game, Harry Maguire was pushed to the front line. He headed the ball before the end of the game, and the ball missed the post, almost becoming the team's savior. In the end, the two sides shook hands 1-1, and Manchester United still failed to win the first victory of the season.
