Man United vs Fulham Predictions: 01.02.2026 - Premier League Betting Tips

Man United vs Fulham

Michael Carrick's Man United will look to make it three wins on the spin when Fulham head north to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Impressive back-to-back wins against Man City and Arsenal was the dream start for Carrick, which lifted his team into 4th spot after 23 matches.

Read what our Premier League tipster Nathan Joyes has to say about both sides before providing his best bet for the match.

Man United's new manager bounce

No one - not even Michael Carrick himself - would have expected to win six points against Man City and Arsenal in his first two matches. Not only did they pick up the two victories but both performances were also excellent.

The race for a Champions League spot is well and truly on and fans will feel as though it is entirely achievable under their former central midfielder.

Five goals against the two best teams in the league have shown how dangerous the Red Devils can be - and Carrick will be looking to cut the deficit with Aston Villa in 3rd spot rather than looking over his shoulder.

Bryan Mbeumo has returned from AFCON to score in both matches, while Matheus Cunha has provided an assist and winning goal too. A more attacking minded side are clearly dangerous under Carrick.

Fulham finding their feet

Looking to upset Man United's good start under Carrick will be Fulham, who head to Old Trafford having won three of their last five matches themselves.

However, it's worth noting that all three of those wins have come at Craven Cottage and Marco Silva's side haven't won in 2026 on the road. Admittedly, they have only played twice, but a 1-0 defeat vs Leeds and 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace won't worry Man United too much.

Having shipped in 18 in their 11 away matches, only seven other clubs have conceded more. At the other end of the pitch, Fulham have only scored 11 in as many away trips - where only three clubs have scored less.

Sasa Lukic will miss the trip, while forward Rodrigo Muniz doesn't have a return date in the diary as of yet.

Man United vs Fulham H2H

Fulham have only beaten Man United once in their last five meetings (W1 D2 L2), although that result did come at Old Trafford in 2024. The hosts have won three of the last five meetings at home across all competitions, with both teams finding the back of the net in four of those matches.

Our Man United vs Fulham betting tip

With Man United flying under their new manager, many will be writing Fulham's chances off - but can Marco Silva's side spring a surprise? Nathan Joyes has taken a look at the Premier League odds for this match and puts his best bet forward.

Goals catch the eye

Man United (4/7 with Betfred) are favourites to make it three wins in a row and it's hard to argue with that considering their two performances under their new head coach. Clearly Carrick wants his team to be more aggressive in the final third - a main reason behind their five goals in two matches.

But there's still plenty of defensive work for the former Middlesbrough manager to resolve. His team have kept just one clean sheet in five - surprisingly against Man City - and Fulham (4/1 with Betano) arrive having scored nine in their last five matches.

A 2-2 draw with Liverpool was followed up with a 2-1 win over Chelsea. Fulham breezed past Middlesbrough in the FA Cup and although a defeat against Leeds followed, they swiftly returned to winning ways against Brighton.

Harry Wilson is in fine form with four goals in his last five - and the Welshman can cause the hosts plenty of issues. Goals has been a theme for both sides of late - and that can continue this weekend.

TIP: Over 2.5 goals at 8/11 with BetMGM.
