Bruno Fernandes scored a 91st-minute winner against Fulham to alleviate the pressure on Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.

United looked to be heading for another game without a win or a goal when Fernandes drilled low past Bernd Leno.

In a poor game of few chances, Scott McTominay thought he had given the visitors an eighth-minute lead but it was ruled out for offside after referee John Brooks viewed it on the pitchside monitor.

Fernandes, before his winner, forced Bernd Leno into an acrobatic save while Andre Onana made two saves to deny Harry Wilson and Joao Palhinha.
