Sponsored by. MARCO SILVA was in no mood to discuss the dire form of Manchester United ahead of Fulham's Sunday night clash with the Red Devils. The Fulham boss shut down questions regarding United's poor form and insisted that he was asked about his team rather than their opponents ahead of the Premier League bout.

Silva didn't want to be pulled into questions that he felt could disrespect his opponents before their visit to Craven Cottage tomorrow. After being asked about Ruben Amorim's criticism of his team as being the "worst team in Man Utd history", Silva snapped.

He said: "As I said before, we are here to talk about Fulham vs Manchester United. "If you want comments about Man Utd and if you want comments about what people are saying then you have to ask different people and a different manager, not me". Silva refused to engage in any open criticism of Man Utd despite a second attempt from the reporter to compare Fulham's form with United in recent weeks.

He added: "We are going really, really well. It's not because of the position of Man Utd. Sorry. "Talk about ourselves. You want to talk about ourselves. You mention the position of Man Utd and I was a little bit confused". When Silva was probed one more time to comment about Fulham sitting above Man Utd in the table, he immediately cut off the reporter and refused to discuss his opponents any further.
