Fulham Captain Cairney Confident Ahead of Man Utd Clash
Tom Cairney, Fulham's captain, expresses confidence in his team's strategy against Manchester United, highlighting their readiness and past successes.
On the eve of the 2024/25 Premier League season, featuring the opening match between the reigning champion Fulham and Manchester United at Old Trafford, the London side’s captain Tom Cairney is scathing about the upcoming game. Regardless of the rival’s status and historical record, Cairney states that Fulham is not afraid of the Red Devils.
Since Marco Silva became the team’s manager, Fulhamhas been delivering splendid results against top-tier squads. Although it is hard to forget the previous season’s 2-1 win at the old trafford, a planned victory on Saturday when Fulham scores first is particularly possible to achieve.
According to Cairney, it is never about parking the bus before the opponent’s goal, but rather offense. With new signings of Emile Smith-Rowe and Ryan Sessegnon, this strategy may well work to Fulham’s advantage, especially as Manchester United is fresh off a Community Shield loss.
