Manchester United vs Everton – Match Preview and Team News
Form
Manchester United: DWWDW
The Red Devils got back on track in Europe as they came from behind to edge out Bodo/Glimt 3-2 at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring in a matter of seconds before their Norwegian opponents responded with two quick-fire goals.
A brace from Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund ensured United collected all three points and remain unbeaten in the Europa League.
The red half of Manchester haven’t lost any of their last six matches in all competitions since the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.
Everton: WDLDD
Sean Dyche’s team occupy 15th position and are precariously hovering above the relegation places.
The Toffees are enduring a barren run in front of goal, having scored only once in their last four games. Their 10 goals scored this season is the joint-lowest in England’s top five divisions, alongside Southampton.
Consecutive goalless draws with West Ham and Brentford followed a disappointing 1-0 loss at a struggling Southampton side that are propping up the table.
Everton haven’t triumphed at Old Trafford since 2013, when a late Bryan Oviedo strike was the difference.
Last Meeting: Manchester United 2-0 Everton, Premier League, 9th March 2024.
Manchester United comfortably beat Everton in the last encounter with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford.
James Tarkowski made a grave error in the opening exchanges as he unfairly impeded Alejandro Garncho inside the box and referee Simon Hooper pointed to the spot.
Bruno Fernandes placed the spot kick past Jordan Pickford with ease to give his side the lead. Pickford then produced an acrobatic stop to deny Fernandes his second of the afternoon as he palmed away a free-kick from the Portuguese international.
Everton were the creators of their own downfall again when Ben Godfrey scythed down the lively Garnacho to concede another penalty.
Fernandes selflessly let Marcus Rashford take the kick and the Englishman sent his fellow countryman the wrong way to double the advantage.
Predicted Lineups
Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez; Amad, Casemiro,
Fernandes, Dalot; Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund.
