Footymad preview History of the Fulham v Manchester United fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 13 of the 36 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 11.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in August 2010, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premier League match.
