Half-Time Report: Manchester United 3-1 Fulham

Man United 3-1 Fulham

Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa have both marked their Manchester United home debuts by getting on the scoresheet in the first half against Fulham.

The Red Devils hold a comfortable lead at the break, despite falling a goal behind early on at Old Trafford.

Damien Duff fired the visitors ahead from eight yards following a cleverly-worked Bryan Ruiz free kick after three minutes.

United responded well to their early setback and were level just seven minutes later, as Van Persie hit a sweet left-footed volley into the top right corner following Patrice Evra's near-post cross.

Kagawa then fired his side ahead from close range on 35 minutes, before Rafael da Silva scored his first goal in three years to complete the first-half scoring six minutes later.
