United failed to win the first Premier League season victory in a 1-1 win over Fulham on Sunday at Craven Cottage.
Leny Yoro’s header later decided to be Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal, giving the Red Devils a lead in the second half, and they seemed to be on the route in all three-pointers.
Unfortunately, the missed back concentration of Manchester United left Emile Smith Rowe into the ghost and knocked the ball down Altay Bayindir to seal the home court.
There is no fine either, as Bruno Fernandes worked hard over the first half, and then Muniz’s goal put United ahead.
Bruno Fernandes’ performance against Fulham
When Calvin Bassey fouled on Mason Mount in the box, the Portuguese International had a great chance to open the score, but his efforts were well on the bar.
Fernandes was upset with the fact that the referee interrupted his game, which was indeed his start again, but it was not enough to use it to justify.
However, apart from that free throw mistake, Manchester United does enjoy a very solid game. The midfielder won eight of his ten duels, winning both dribbling and creating a chance.
Fernandes tried to grab the ball and make things happen while being victorious and strong, but was disappointed in unusual ways from the free throw.
Meanwhile, Patrick Dorgu’s overall performance was worse than the left-wing captain, and Ruben Amorim should think of throwing him off the side.
Why should Patrick Dorgu be abandoned
The Denmark defender provides vitality and attack channels on the left, but does not show enough mass to play against the Goats on the left.
Dorgu has too much left to satisfy. While Fernandez was strong at least on defense, the defender lost six of his eight games and was dribbled twice on Sophos Hill without any tackles.
This shows that it is too easy for the Fulham attackers to make him better in a one-on-one battle, and that he does not provide enough protection for Luke Shaw.
Unfortunately, the 20-year-old loser’s use of the ball has not compensated for his lack of defensive quality as the former Serie A star failed to offer possession quality.

As you can see in the table above, Dorgu lost 18 games without creating a chance, nor did he test Bernd Leno.
The Danish Ghost did have a perfect match that broke the last line of Fulham’s defense, and he stretched out his attempt to cross the ball without anyone plaguing Fulham White.
That’s why next weekend after the League Cup match against Burnley, Amorim must ruthlessly abandon the young defender’s clash with Burnley from the initial XI.
In an ideal world, this would include the change of Luke Shaw in the latter quarter of his more natural position, but it could see Shaw or Diogo Dalot play the left-wing guard.
