Manchester United supporters have named the man of the match in the FA Cup win over Fulham.

United beat Fulham 3-1 at Old Trafford, the team’s fourth consecutive by the same scoreline in this season’s competition.

United fans name man of the match

Manchester United fans voted for the man of the match against Fulham via the club website and app.

Fernandes took his season tally to 10 goals with his brace against Fulham, becoming the second player to reach double figures for the season, following Marcus Rashford with 27.

David de Gea was second in the vote, he was crucial in the victory with important saves at key times, while Marcel Sabitzer scored his first ever Manchester United goal.

It was not the best performance from United by any stretch. Fulham imploded with their two red cards, but United did on balance deserve the win.

United will need to play better at Wembley, with in-form Brighton awaiting. The winner will likely face Manchester City, who take on Sheffield United.
