Manchester United faced criticism after a 1-1 draw with Fulham, with Gary Neville accusing the team of a "lack of effort." The match, held at Craven Cottage, saw the Red Devils struggle throughout, with defensive lapses and a late equalizer salvaging a point. Manager Michael Carrick admitted the team was "costing" themselves through fine margins, citing a string of poor performances.
Benjamin Sesko, sidelined with a shin injury, was ruled out of the match, adding to United's injury concerns. The club has decided to keep Sesko at Carrington for further assessment, preventing him from joining Slovenia for international duty. Meanwhile, the controversial decision not to award a penalty for Calvin Bassey's handball was explained by VAR audio, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of refereeing decisions.
The result marked another difficult week for United, with players and pundits alike pointing to a lack of cohesion and effort. Carrick emphasized the need for improvement, while fans and analysts continue to question the team's direction. The club faces mounting pressure as the season progresses.
