Carrick’s return began with impressive wins against Manchester City and Arsenal, but United looked to have blown their chance of another victory after Casemiro and Matheus Cunha goals were cancelled out late on. Summer signing Sesko kept his cool when taking a touch and slamming home in front of the Stretford End, sparking bedlam and propelling United fourth in the Premier League. It was a breathless end to a day that began with the 1958’s protest outside Old Trafford against the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Play petered out after the 19th-minute opener, with Lammens dealing with a couple of Fulham half chances before the break. It was a wonderful effort that lifted the mood at Old Trafford, where Cuenca looked to have pulled one back for the visitors in the 65th minute.
