Bassey, Iwobi hope to hurt Manchester United again as English Premier League kick-off

The Super Eagles duo of Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi will hope to hurt Manchester United again when both teams face each other in the opening game of the 2024/2025 season.

Both Nigerian Internationals were on target the last time they clashed with the Red Devil and will be looking to replicate the feat.

Iwobi’s 97th minute winner at the Old Trafford in February handed the Cottager their first win at the Theatre of Dreams.

Fulham will be buoyed by the fact that three of their last four League meetings with Manchester United have been won by the away side.
