Matches against Manchester United F.C.

To date, Fulham have played Manchester United competitively on 86 occasions (won 14, drew 20, lost 52). 71 of these have been league matches, and 14 have been in the FA Cup.

The sides' first meeting was to be a thrilling trio of FA Cup ties throughout January of 1905, whereby ultimately Fulham ran out the surprise victors in a 2nd replay of the 7th qualifying round after they had already forced two draws out of the Manchester outfit. Another FA Cup victory followed three years later when the two met for the fourth time; many FA Cup meetings have taken place between the two, however, Manchester United have succeeded in knocking Fulham out of the cup on every occasion since that 1908 victory at Craven Cottage. They met consistenly from the early 1920's right through to the late 1960's, until Fulham's fall and Man Utd's rise in the league system, with sporadic victories for Fulham including an impressive and rare 2-0 victory at Old Trafford. From 1968 to 2001 (Fulham's return to the top flight), there were only 6 meetings; 2 being in the Second Division and 4 being FA Cup ties.
