Manchester United face Fulham at Old Trafford – here is how to watch the game wherever you are.
Manchester United will be aiming to extend their winning streak when they welcome faltering Fulham to Old Trafford for a Premier League clash on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils are on a seven-game unbeaten run, with five successive victories in their last five outings in all competitions, and they finally look to be enjoying their football again as a result of their impressive form.
Fulham, on the other hand, have endured a dismal start to 2024, with just one win in their last five games. Indeed, Marco Silva’s charges will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing home defeat to Aston Villa and ignite a charge back up the table.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the game live wherever you are.

Manchester United vs Fulham team news
Manchester United team news
Rasmus Hojlund is the major absentee for Manchester United, with the exuberant Danish striker out for several weeks with a muscle issue. Hojlund had chipped in with seven goals in his last six games for United, so Ten Hag will have to reshuffle his pack in attack.
At the back, Luke Shaw has been ruled out after suffering a leg injury in the game against Luton Town, with Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan Bissaka also out for a lengthy period.
Fulham team news
In a massive blow, Joao Palhinha will be missing for Fulham as the combative Portugal international midfielder begins a two-match ban following the accumulation of 10 yellow cards.
However, Armando Broja could be back in action and there is cautious optimism about Willian, who would bring experience to the forward line. Unfortunately for the Cottagers, however, Raul Jimenez is definitely unavailable. On the plus side, Rodrigo Muniz has been in sizzling form, scoring four goals in his last three appearances.
