Manchester United's intensity is under scrutiny after a 1-1 draw at Fulham. Matheus Cunha told Sky Sports: "They put in more energy than us, we cannot accept this." Gary Neville said: "I've never seen a Man Utd team walk out of possession as much as that."

Man Utd rank joint-bottom in the Premier League for high-speed runs with 1691, level with Man City, who played with 10 men for most of the derby. They spent 52.98 per cent of their time out of possession at Fulham walking – their highest this season. Their campaign average of 51.13 per cent ranks 17th.

United ran 110.2km on Sunday, the second-lowest of the weekend behind Liverpool's 108.4km. They ran 6.5km less than Fulham. Man Utd have been out-run by Hull, Ipswich and Everton this season; Man City are the only side they have run further than.

United allowed Fulham to start passing sequences, on average, 36.9m from goal – the nearest any team allowed opponents to begin last weekend. Fulham allowed United to start attacks 43.4m from their goal. Neville highlighted Fulham's 10+ passing sequences.
