Manchester United injury boost ahead of Fulham clash as Carrick seeks response

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces mounting pressure with only one league win this season, as his side prepares to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. The club sits 13th in the Premier League table, making a result essential. Luke Shaw, Carlos Baleba and Matthijs de Ligt have all travelled with the squad, providing a significant injury boost. Shaw returns after missing three matches, while Baleba could make his debut and De Ligt may feature for the first time since November, offering Carrick much-needed options. Benjamin Sesko did not travel due to an injury concern, leaving Matheus Cunha expected to lead the attack. United's recent defeats include the Manchester derby loss and a Carabao Cup exit against Brighton, underscoring the urgency for Carrick to secure points quickly
