Former Rangers defender Calvin Bassey silenced Old Trafford with a goal on his FA Cup debut.
The Nigerian internationalist, 25, headed home to put Fulham ahead against Manchester United.
Bassey has become a key player for Fulham, making 26 appearances for the club so far this season. He joined the London club from Ajax after leaving Rangers for an initial £19m fee in the summer of 2022.

The centre-back sent Fulham in one goal up at the break against Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round with a simple header at the back post.
A corner into the box was headed into a dangerous area where Bassey was on hand to nod into the bottom corner. The defender was too strong in the air for Noussair Mazraoui.
Upon his header finding the net, Bassey charged towards the travelling supporters inside the stadium in wild celebrations.

Upon his Ibrox departure, Bassey wrote: "Where do I start...? Firstly, I just want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to play for a club that is as historic and amazing as Rangers.
"I want to thank the manager and the coaching staff. For the trust they put in me and for helping me to develop both as a person and as a player.
"I want to thank my teammates for all their help. I came here to play football but I'm leaving with brothers for life.
"I want to thank all the fans. You were were truly incredible. I've never experienced anything like Ibrox. You will always have a place in my heart - once a Ger, always a Ger.
"Finally, I wish the team all the best and plenty of success for the future. #WATP"
