David Moyes was forced into three half-time changes as
goals from Antonio Valencia, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney saw the Red
Devils triumph at Craven Cottage.
David Moyes revealed that Manchester United's 3-1 win at
Fulham came at a cost, with four players suffering injuries.
Three early goals from Antonio Valencia, Robin van Persie
and Wayne Rooney gave the Premier League champions a comfortable cushion at
Craven Cottage and the visitors eventually ran out easy winners, despite Alex
Kacaniklic's second-half reply.
However, Moyes was forced into three half-time
substitutions, with Jonny Evans, Rafael and Tom Cleverley unable to continue,
while Patrice Evra also picked up a knock.
"Jonny's back seized up; Rafael had gone over on his
ankle and Tom Cleverley had double vision," Moyes told Sky Sports.
"We actually had four [injured players] - Patrice Evra had an injury as
well.
"It never helps the continuity. We didn't play as
well in the second half but nevertheless we were always worthy winners.
"All credit to Fulham - they kept going and got
their goal."
Moyes was delighted by United's start to the game, which
saw Valencia, Van Persie and Rooney score inside the opening 22 minutes.
"The first 20 minutes we were outstanding – great
goals, great movement for the goals," added the Scot.
"We knew it would be tough, because Fulham were off
a bad result last week [a 2-0 defeat against Southampton]. But we got the goals
and we played very well."
