Fulham face Manchester United: Marco Silva urges them to take advantage of any scoring opportunities

The 23rd round of the 2024/25 Premier League will usher in another focus battle, and Fulham will host Manchester United at home. Marco Silva said that Manchester United is a difficult team to deal with and has excellent defense, so he urged his team to seize every opportunity to score.

Fulham defeated newly promoted Leicester 2-0 in the last game with goals from Smith Rowe and Adama Traore. After 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 games, Fulham is currently ranked 10th in the standings with 33 points, 7 points behind Chelsea in 4th place.

As for Manchester United coached by Amorim, the "Red Devils" lost 1-3 to Brighton in the last round of the league and are currently ranked 13th in the standings. But in the 7th round of the UEFA Europa League earlier, Manchester United defeated Glasner Rovers 2-1 and gained a lot of confidence with the 4-game winning streak.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said in an interview, "They were solid, very difficult and compact in some games, such as against Liverpool and Arsenal, and they defended in the half most of the time. If they find space, they will cause us trouble."

"Like Bruno Fernandes, he was dangerous in most of the games with his accurate passes and he is a player who can see different situations. This game could go in a lot of different directions, it could be a more open game, it could be a more compact game, we'll see."

In addition, Marco Silva also said, "We will face a strong team. With their strength, they can perform like they did against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. We must be prepared for everything, but one thing is certain, we are Fulham and everyone will recognize our team."

"Compared to previous seasons, we have improved our ability to create chances. Judging from our performance, we are moving in the right direction. We have scored a lot of goals and have been very consistent in this regard. With the chances we have created, we should have scored more goals."

Marco Silva added, “It shows that the way we play can create chances and allow us to dominate in certain moments. We want to become a more stable team, and the key lies in how we prepare for the game and organize the attack. There is also the individual ability of the players and their trust in the coaching staff. After that, it depends on how they perform on the court.”
