Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon with Everton visiting Old Trafford for an important clash.
Ruben Amorim picked up his first win as Manchester United boss on Thursday night.
United beat Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, coming from 2-1 down to secure a 3-2 victory.
The attention turns back to Premier League action on Sunday though with Amorim seeking a second win in a matter of days.
Everton visit Old Trafford and United fans will be expecting a strong performance in Amorim’s first home Premier League game.
Amorim saw some positive signs from United against Bodo/Glimt and will be looking to see further improvement against Everton.

Everton ace shares Rasmus Hojlund messages
Sean Dyche’s side have won just twice in the Premier League this season with only one of those victories coming on the road.
Everton have lost away at Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Southampton whilst picking up draws at Leicester City and West Ham United.
MORE UNITED STORIES
The Toffees would love to spring a surprise against United and one Everton ace is seeking a favour from United striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Everton’s Jesper Lindstrom knows Hojlund well having featured together with the Danish national team.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lindstrom admitted that he has messaged Hojlund asking him to go easy on Everton this afternoon.
However, Hojlund simply responded by vowing to score goals for United and leave Lindstrom disappointed in the process.
Hojlund and Lindstrom go way back and the Everton ace believes that Hojlund deserves to be at United because he is a ‘good player’, no doubt knowing the damage he can do to Everton.
“I texted him after the game to congratulate him on his two goals, but told him not to score this weekend,” said Lindstrom.
“His reply was to tell me he would do his best to score goals. I knew him from when he was about 10 years old. There is a good reason why Rasmus is in Manchester — he’s a good player,” he added.
Rasmus Hojlund needs to find some momentum
Hojlund enjoyed a huge Thursday evening, scoring twice to hand United all three points against Bodo/Glimt.
United fans voted Hojlund Man of the Match against Bodo/Glimt with the striker enjoying some much-needed form in front of goal.
The Dane hadn’t scored since October 19 before that brace and will be looking for some momentum.
United are now looking for Hojlund to step it up and really find some consistency under Amorim.
Hojlund has praised Amorim’s style whilst suggesting that the approach reminds him of playing under Gian Piero Gasperini at Atalanta.
The quality is there and and Hojlund will hope to build on that Europa League brace by scoring again as Everton roll into town.
