Manchester United Crash Out of FA Cup as Fulham Win Shoot-Out – Done Deal!

Manchester United’s FA Cup campaign ended in disaster as they crashed out of the competition following a dramatic penalty shootout loss to Fulham. In a night of tension and high stakes, Marco Silva’s side held their nerve at Old Trafford, sending Erik ten Hag’s men packing and sealing their place in the next round.

United, who were favorites to progress, struggled to break down a disciplined Fulham defense. Despite boasting a strong lineup, they lacked the cutting edge needed to put the game to bed. The match ended in a stalemate after 120 minutes, forcing a penalty shootout that saw Fulham emerge victorious.

For Fulham, this is a huge statement win. After being denied at the same stage last season in controversial fashion, they got their revenge in the best way possible. Their composure from the spot was in stark contrast to United’s struggles, with missed penalties proving costly for the home side.

As the final whistle blew and Fulham’s celebrations erupted, United fans were left frustrated. This latest setback adds to the growing concerns around Ten Hag’s tenure, with questions mounting over the team’s inconsistency and lack of progress. The FA Cup represented one of United’s last realistic chances of silverware this season, making this exit even more painful.

Meanwhile, Fulham march on with confidence, proving they can compete with the biggest clubs. Their resilience and tactical discipline were on full display, and they’ll now set their sights on making a deep cup run.

For United, it’s another trophy opportunity lost. For Fulham, it’s a moment to savor. Done deal – Manchester United are out, and Fulham are moving forward!
