May 28, (THEWILL) – Manchester United clinched third place in the English Premier League with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Fulham on the final day of the season.
After securing UEFA Champions League qualification earlier in the week, Erik ten Hag’s side demonstrated their resilience once again at Old Trafford. Fulham took the lead through Kenny Tete, and David De Gea’s penalty save denied Aleksandar Mitrovic the chance to extend their advantage. United then staged an impressive turnaround, with Jadon Sancho equalising before Bruno Fernandes calmly finished to secure the win.
The win not only sealed third place for Manchester United, surpassing Newcastle, but it also marked their record-equalling 27th home victory in all competitions this season. The Red Devils will now carry this momentum into the upcoming FA Cup final against local rivals, Manchester City, as they aim to secure a second trophy under ten Hag.
However, despite the team’s achievements, there are underlying issues at the club, and the United faithful made their discontent with the Glazer family ownership known throughout the match.
