Alex Iwobi says Fulham were able to 'exploit' two Manchester United players as he dismantled Ruben Amorim's tactics.

Fulham and Man United played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The Red Devils took the lead when Rodrigo Muniz scored an own-goal. Emile Smith Rowe, who came on two minutes before scoring, equalised in the 73rd minute.

Fulham got into the game and found their groove after Man United dominated the opening proceedings.

Marco Silva's side executed a second-half plan that saw them secure a point against Amorim's team.

Speaking after the match, Iwobi said they were able to 'exploit' Man United's two midfielders, who were Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.

"The resilience to come back," he told Sky Sports when asked what was the most pleasing aspect of Fulham's result.

"We knew that the difference could be made off the bench. It is better to not lose, and we are able to get a good point against a good team.

"We knew that we would be able to get behind their two midfielders and that their centre-backs would want to jump - we exploited that today."

Man United fans online couldn't believe Iwobi's assessment of Amorim's set-up.

One X user wrote: "The proof is right there, our midfield can’t run. Invest in the position NOW!"

A second said: "Everyone knows this. Without a good DM this wont work. Ineos, SJR @ManUtd please act soon."

A rival fan added: "It doesn't speak well of a coach when he has no tactical flexibility."

Ruben Amorim said Manchester United 'forgot how we play' after their goal

Man United controlled large parts of the fixture, including the opening stages of Sunday's league clash.

The visitors fashioned plenty of chances, with Matheus Cunha hitting the post before forcing Bernd Leno into action.

They eventually scored in the second-half after Muniz converted into his own net from a corner.

But Amorim bemoaned his team's approach following their goal, claiming they 'forgot how we play' after taking the lead.

"I think we scored the goal and then we forgot about how we play," Amorim explained.

"We want to win so badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the pitch was thinking, 'Let’s hold onto the advantage and try to win the game'.

"For me that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent. We tried to press the opponent super high and left a lot of space."

He added: "We have to grow up a lot as a team. For me the most important thing is that during the week they were working really hard, today we worked really hard, and we are going to improve.

"The moment that changed the game was our goal."
