Manchester United relieved some of the pressure that they have been under in recent weeks as captain Bruno Fernandes struck in the 90th minute for a 1-0 victory at Fulham in the early Premier League game on Saturday.
The game was petering out into a lacklustre stalemate when Fernandes latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the area and drilled a low skidding shot inside the post.

Successive 3-0 home defeats in what has been United’s worst start to a season since 1962 had piled pressure on manager Erik ten Hag and victory at Craven Cottage will release that somewhat.
But while the victory was welcome, questions still remain about where United are heading under the Dutchman after another rather shapeless display.
A third successive narrow away win in the league lifts United to sixth with 18 points from 11 games ahead of the rest of the weekend ‘s fixtures..
Fulham, who were twice denied by great saves by Andre Onana in the second half, are 14th with 12 points.
