Bruno Fernandes had a golden chance to give United the lead, but he failed to score from the spot. Then, defender Leny Yoro’s deflected header gave the visitors an advantage. However, Emile Smith Rowe scored the equaliser for the home side.

After the match, United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, clearly said that his team forgot how to play after breaking the deadlock.

"We have to grow up a lot as a team" - Amorim

"I think we scored the goal and then we forgot about how we play," he said. "We have to grow up a lot as a team. The moment that changed the game was our goal. We want to win so badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the pitch was thinking, 'Let's hold on to the advantage and try to win the game.”

"For me, that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent. We tried to press the opponent super high and left a lot of space. You need to win to have the feeling to relax a little bit, not in the intensity and the way we play, but maintaining our mind,” he further added.

Amorim also pointed out why they suffered in the end but vowed to move forward. "We suffer a little bit in the end because the momentum changed more with the goal of Fulham. In the first half we were there -- we missed a penalty. Fernandes has so much responsibility with him that I felt the lack of joy [when he missed]. And he was thinking in the past. Now, we have to move forward no matter what happens," he added.
