A PENNY FOR THEIR THOUGHTS...

ANOTHER STAT THAT FAVOURS UNITED
We've already mentioned The Red Devil's impressive record against The Cottagers and it's not much different in this competition either.
Indeed, United have progressed from their last nine FA Cup ties against Fulham since a 2-1 quarter-final defeat way, way back in 1908!

MAN UTD HALF CHANCE
One for the camera from Leno is he needlessly leaps into the air to parry away Eriksen's cross-shot from the left.

THE HOSTS HAVE BEEN THE BETTER SIDE SO FAR

DID YOU KNOW?
United have triumphed in each of their last 14 FA Cup fifth round ties and have progressed to the last eight in nine of the last 10 seasons.

A LOW-KEY START TO THIS CUP TIE
United have bossed the possession and tried to up the ante in the attacking third, but so far we've had little of note in terms of goalmouth action.

FOURTH TIME’S A CHARM?
Fulham have locked horns with the holders of the FA Cup on three previous occasions and have lost all three (4-5 v Newcastle in 1956, 1-2 v West Brom in 1969 and 0-4 v Man City in 2020).
Can they change that pattern with a rare win at United today?

HEAD-TO-HEAD
The Red Devils have only been beaten once in their last 21 encounters with Fulham.
Indeed, United won both PL showdowns by a 1-0 scoreline this season and have triumphed in 17 of those 21 meetings.

HARRY MAGUIRE CONFIDENT AMORIM WILL TURN UNITED’S FORTUNES AROUND WITH TIME
"When he first came in, his ideas and energy was really refreshing. We just haven't picked up the results we needed to. The belief is still there and we know we can improve as players.
"He has been brilliant. Personally he has given me great belief and confidence to express myself and to go out and play my best football.
"With the right structure and players in his team, there is no doubt he has proved at Sporting that his team wins trophies and football matches. It is down to the players to buy into it and make sure you are part of it for the long term."
