Manchester United v Fulham ratings: De Gea 8, Fernandes 8; Tete 7, Lukic 6

Erik ten Hag's team fight back to end season with victory on Sunday

Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes helped Manchester United rally to claim a 2-1 home win over Fulham on Sunday and end their Premier League campaign on a high.

United finished the season in third place, while Fulham ended in 10th for their first top-half finish since 2012.

It was a momentous day for manager Erik ten Hag as he secured a third-place finish in his first season at Old Trafford.

The Dutch coach has already led United to triumph in the League Cup and could add to that when his side face Manchester City in the FA Cup final next week.

"There is still one game to go so, and I am sure, that these players will give everything to beat Manchester City next week. So we need it from you as well," Erik ten Hag said at Old Trafford.

"Thank you for everything. I am sure we have a really good chance to take the cup back to Old Trafford."

The visitors could have gone two up in the 26th minute when Casemiro bundled over Tom Cairney in the box, but Aleksandar Mitrovic's spot kick was saved by David de Gea. It was the Serbian striker's fourth miss from the spot this season.

Fulham manager Marco Silva said his side did not deserve to lose the game.

"The game changed completely from that moment (penalty save),” Silva told the BBC.

"We should have reacted in a different way. It was a moment for us to show maturity and handle the game in a different way but we haven't done that.”

Conflict, drought, famine

Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.

Band Aid

Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
