Iwobi was making his 17th appearance and has scored two goals, while Chukwueze was making his 10th appearance and bagged three goals this ongoing season.
On the other hand, Bassey was making his 17th appearance and has scored one goal this ongoing season for Fulham. He came on as a substitute for Jorge Cuenca in the 86th minute.
The Red Devils went ahead on 19 minutes after VAR overturned a penalty into a free-kick. Bruno Fernandes swung it to the back post and Casemiro powered a header into the corner.
The hosts then made it 2–0 on 56 minutes on the break, Casemiro threading a pass into the box for Cunha, who smashed a first-time finish into the roof of the net past Bernd Leno.

And Kevin then silenced Old Trafford by finding the equaliser by cutting inside a firing a wonderful effort into the top corner as Carrick looked set for his first stumbling block in charge.

Casemiro’s no look pass to assist Cunha’s goal. Wooooooow!
And what a goal by Cunha. A carbon copy of Akor’s missile against Mozambique at the Afcon.
Very entertaining game.
Saw something encouraging today. Chuks actually used his right foot! His shot was deflected into the path of his team mate, who then scored, but the goal was disallowed. If he keeps it up, he will take his place among the world’s best.
Operation Save Msn United is in full flight. Carrick has the midas touch.
