Iwobi picks goal v Man Utd as highlight of Fulham career so far, hopes for back-to-back wins at Old Trafford

Alex Iwobi has chosen his strike for Fulham against Manchester United as the highlight of his career so far as a Fulham player and is hoping for back-to-back wins at Old Trafford against the Red Devils on Friday.

The Nigeria international has become a vital player for the London-based side since his arrival from Everton last summer and started 25 games in the Premier League in the last campaign.

He scored his first league goal for Fulham against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Craven Cottage last November and went on to net four more goals including his strike against the Red Devils.

Iwobi netted a late strike to help Marco Silva's side triumph 2-1 over Manchester United at Old Trafford last season with Calvin Bassey getting the opening goal of the game.

Speaking after the Cottagers' victory over Hoffenheim in their last preseason game on Saturday, the 28-year-old chose his strike against Erik ten Hag's side as his favourite moment since his arrival at the London-based side.

"Yeah, it could be. So far, I am trying to create more .So, maybe we can do it again and create more. But it is all in the past now . It is about the present and hopefully doing it again," Iwobi told Fulham's official website.

The Hale End product is also hoping they can make it two consecutive victories at the Old Trafford when Fulham clash with Manchester United in the opening Premier League game of the season.

"Yeah, of course, it is a great test. Man United, one of the best teams in the Premier League. It is a good challenge for us.

"I mean we were able to do it last season. Hopefully, we can do it again this season and start the season strong."
