Manchester United fail to win yet again

Reigning English Premier League champion, Manchester United dropped another two points at Old Trafford as the team drew 2-2 with Fulham.


Second half goals from Robin Van Persie and Michael Carrick within the space of two minutes had overturned Steve Sidwell’s opener but Darren Bent found the back of the net in injury time to send Fulham fans in jubilant mood and compound the woes of Manchester United watched by former gaffer, Sir Alex Ferguson.

For all United's attacking play and 81 crosses, the most by a Premier League team since 2006, Fulham defended heroically as debutant Johnny Heitinga, fellow centre-back Dan Burn and goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg excelled.

And though some might say the point was undeserved given Fulham had three shots on target, it represented a significant result for Meulensteen, who had won only three of his previous 11 Premier League games since taking charge in December.


It is another low for Moyes, whose side have already lost five games at Old Trafford this season and now sit nine points behind fourth-placed Liverpool as their pursuit of a Champions League place took a serious dent.
