Manchester United x Fulham 2/3/2024 Posted on March 2, 2025 By jhafi95 REFRESH MU are the current FA Cup champions, they continue their journey to defend this title with a home match against Fulham in the 5th round. The MU vs Fulham prediction is slightly tilted towards the home team, but Marco Silva’s team is not easy to defeat even though they have to play at Old Trafford. MU had a good start to the match against Fulham, it was Maguire who headed the decisive goal to help the Red Devils defeat Ipswich 3-2 in the most recent match in the Premier League. The win over Ipswich ended a run of three draws and defeats for United in the Premier League, but Ruben Amorim’s side are still 14th in the table. They are still a long way off the top, so defending the FA Cup is surely the most realistic route to European football next season. Of course, the hosts could win the Europa League to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but winning the Cup Winners’ Cup is a much tougher task than defending the FA Cup. History favours United ahead of Fulham: The Red Devils have progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup in each of their last 14 attempts, with their last fifth-round exit coming against Liverpool in 2005/06. The Merseyside giants lifted the trophy that year, which bodes well for Fulham if they can overcome United to book their place in the quarter-finals. FOOTBALL
