Key Players to Watch: Manchester United vs Arsenal

Raul Jimenez (Fulham)

The Mexican striker remains Fulham’s focal point in attack and will be crucial against Manchester United. Jimenez’s aerial ability and hold-up play allow Fulham to build attacks, while his movement inside the box ensures defenders can never switch off. After rediscovering some sharpness last season, he’ll be aiming to test United’s new-look backline and punish any defensive lapses.

Alex Iwobi (Fulham)

Iwobi’s versatility and direct running make him one of Fulham’s most important creative sparks. Operating from midfield, he has the ability to link play and drive at defenders, creating space for those around him. His energy and willingness to press could also prove vital in unsettling United’s rhythm in possession.

Matheus Cunha (Manchester United)

Cunha’s arrival has added flair and unpredictability to United’s front line. Comfortable dropping deep to collect the ball or drifting wide to stretch defences, the Brazilian’s movement opens up spaces for teammates. With Sesko leading the line, Cunha’s link-up play and ability to create chances between the lines will be key to breaking down Fulham’s defensive structure.

Bryan Mbuemo (Manchester United)

Mbuemo provides the pace and directness that United have sometimes lacked on the wings. Dangerous when cutting inside or running in behind, he offers a constant threat in transition. His work rate off the ball also makes him a valuable asset, pressing defenders high and looking to capitalise on mistakes. If given space, he has the ability to change the game with one moment of quality.
