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.

“No, sorry. Sorry to interrupt you. We are in a very good position because we are doing really well.

“Nothing related to the position of Manchester United. We are doing really well and we are in the position we are because we have been strong enough and we have been competitive enough.

“And if you are there it doesn’t matter what is the team that is below us or above us. We are there because we deserve to be in a different position.

“But it’s about ourselves not about the position of the team we are going to play against. I repeat again, I have massive respect for them.”

Fulham are currently three places and seven points ahead of Ruben Amorim‘s Man Utd side in the Premier League table.

While their form has seen them lose just once in their last 11 games in all competitions – a stark comparison to Man Utd who have lost five of their last nine games across all comps.

Amorim was left fuming after his side fell to a 3-1 defeat the hands of Brighton last weekend, labelling his team as “the worst team maybe in the history of Manchester United.”

While he was also involved in a furious outburst in the dressing room, ultimately damaging the TV used to display tactics ahead of games during his emotional reaction.

Asked what led to the outburst after united’s 2-1 win over Rangers, he explained: “I didn’t think, that’s why. I’m a young guy and sometimes I make a mistake.

“That’s why I don’t [usually] speak after the game. This game, I needed to talk and maybe it was a mistake.

“Then I get more nervous and go to the [press] conference really nervous and say things you should not say.

“I don’t promise I will not do it again. I don’t know, but I’ll try to improve”.

BEN O’CONNOR will make his first start for Munster as a fresh-faced Reds XV hits up Rodney Parade tonight.

With Ireland stars Tadhg Beirne, Jack Crowley, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash and Peter O’Mahony away in camp ahead of the Six Nations, O’Connor is one of six changes to the side that faced Northampton last week.

A talented centre-back, O’Connor won two All-Irelands with the Cork hurlers — at minor and Under-20 level — before deciding his long-term future was at Thomond Park.

He starred for Ireland at the Under-20 Rugby World Cup in South Africa last year as the Green Army ultimately came up short against England in the semis.

It will be his eighth appearance overall for the Reds but it is a first start for the exciting rookie, 20.

Academy hooker Danny Sheahan has been named on the bench and is set to make his senior debut as the basement boys host 11-placed Munster.

As well as O’Connor, Shane Daly, Billy Burns Ethan Coughlan, Tom Ahern and captain Jack O’Donoghue come into the team following the two-point Champions Cup defeat to the Saints.

Diarmuid Kilgallen — who scored two tries in last week’s European clash — makes a first URC start for the Reds.

The province confirmed that Mike Haley has successfully gone under the knife after picking up an ankle injury last time out.

MUNSTER: B O’Connor; D Kilgallen, T Farrell, R Scannell, S Daly; B Burns, E Coughlan; D Bleuler, D Barron, O Jager; F Wycherley, T Ahern; J O’Donoghue, A Kendellen, G Coombes.

Reps: D Sheahan, K Ryan, J Ryan, E O’Connell, B Gleeson, P Patterson, T Butler, J Hodnett.

Today’s 7.35pm kick-off will be shown live on RTE Two.

LUKE LITTLER admitted he “fell asleep” before setting up another blockbuster clash with Michael van Gerwen.

The 18-year-old ground out a 6-4 win over Dimitri Van den Bergh in his Dutch Masters opener – after the Belgian had shaken up his walk-on routine.

However, the teen sensation needed to hit three 180s in the last two legs to get over the line after a mid-match slump.

On going up a gear, he admitted: “I had to. Dimitri was behind me all the way.

“But two-nil up, fell asleep and I had to find other gears.

“The World Series is a massive thing. You go to all these different countries. But I would say it’s match practice for the Premier League.”

Van den Bergh surprisingly dumped his classic Happy walk-on song and dance for the occasion.

It was replaced by Play Hard by David Guetta.

When asked about it, Littler replied: “I don’t really know. I think it’s good for us players that he’s not there dancing around!

“So we get to walk-on quicker. He can take his time. It’s a good song.”

Littler now faces Van Gerwen in the quarters, a repeat of their World Final clash at the Ally Pally three weeks ago.

He added: “Obviously I’d like to get another win and progress to the semi-final.

“I think Michael might be thinking he wants revenge, especially in his backyard.

“It would be a good thing to beat him in his backyard.

“Like I said, win that game and guarantee myself a place in the semi-final.”

MVG will go into his rematch with Littler sporting a broken toe.

The three-time world champion suffered a freak injury while on holiday with his family in Thailand.

Asked if the injury would hamper him in the tournament, he replied: “[It’s] annoying, but you can’t do anything about it.

“It happened last week on holiday. Accidents can happen. I enjoyed my holiday. I definitely had a nice rest.”
