Fulham boss Marco Silva hopes to lead the huts to a historic FA Cup triumph in 2025.
The West London Club will compete against Manchester United in Old Trafford on Sunday, with the chance to reach the game until the quarter-finals.
The story would indicate that Fulham are the outsiders against the Red Devils, but roles were reversed this season, with United lubricating in the lower half of the table, while Silva’s team pushed for a place in the Champions League.
And although it will be difficult for them to sneak into the top four, considering how competitive the upper half is in 2024-25, there is always a chance to win cutlery instead.
Silva made it very clear that Fulham takes the FA Cup with complete seriousness, and that her focus is on creating it into the next round for the time being.
Before the trip to Manchester, he said: “We really like this competition. We really want to be serious. Our players were always serious with their approach because we respect and love this competition.
“Our ambition in this competition is really big and we want to compete to be in the next round. It is good if I have the feeling that this ambition and passion are through the entire squad. “

Silva will rely on his most important players in Old Trafford, including Alex Iwobi, who has had a revelation in Craven Cottage since his arrival from Everton.
And the Portuguese boss admitted that he annoyed him when he played five-year-old football with his friends during the week with his friends.
He added: “He knows that he shouldn’t, but Alex, who is Alex, is as honest as possible during a podcast. I would prefer that he enjoys his friends in a different way than small games with his friends.
“There are many things to do in other ways, but he is a lovable guy. He is a football player who lives his own life in a little different, but sometimes I want him to keep his focus where he should and protects him as much as possible, because in the end the most important thing for him is his job for Fulham Football Club. “
If Fulham United is supposed to beat in her own stadium, Silva Iwobi must need to create the rest of the week without grasping injuries, with his full focus on the domestic cup competition.
