Manchester United are set to take on Everton in the Premier League later today as Ruben Amorim looks to secure his first victory in the Premier League. Having already tasted victory over Bodo/Glimt, the Portuguese tactician will want to build on the same.
The Red Devils showed some promising signs midweek in the Europa League and one would assume that they look much better in the game against Everton as they have had more time to adapt to the manager’s tactical system.

Everton under Sean Dyche can be defensively resolute and Man Utd will have to come up with a break them open. With all this in mind, here is how we think Ruben Amorim can set the Red Devils up in the Premier League clash against the Toffees.
Andre Onana is expected to start in goal and he will be hoping to play like he did against Ipswich Town rather than how he played midweek. In front of him, the back three is likely to be Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.
The wing-backs on the night could be Diogo Dalot from the right side and Luke Shaw from the left, with the latter marking his first Manchester United start in months. Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte are likely to form a partnership at the base of midfield.
Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes could start as the two inside forwards on the night with an excellent performance against Bodo likely to help Rasmus Hojlund retain his place as the starting number nine against the Toffees.
It remains to be seen how Amorim’s men have adapted and learned over this one week and if there is any remarkable change in performance in the game against Everton.
One would hope that the Red Devils can walk away with three points and let’s wait and see how it goes.
