A first defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford since 2003 made for an inauspicious start after the new co-owner’s investment was confirmed. Even as Ten Hag fielded his first-choice midfield, of Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro, United didn’t really have a midfield. Yet he was an indictment of Ten Hag’s greatest error: the £85m misfit Antony eventually came on in the 99th minute, after Forson, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo had all played on the right wing. United had glimpsed respite, perhaps even a great rescue act, when Harry Maguire levelled, tucking in from close range after Bernd Leno rather limply parried Bruno Fernandes’ shot.
