Ruben Amorim takes charge of a Premier League game at Old Trafford for the first time on Sunday, as Manchester United host Everton.
The Portuguese coach recorded his first win in charge in the Europa League on Thursday, as the Red Devils survived a scare to beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 at home. Rasmus Hojlund scored twice to get the Amorim era up and running and attention now turns back to the Premier League.
United sit 12th in the Premier League table after last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town. Currently seven points adrift of the top four and Champions League qualification, Amorim will be hoping his side can navigate the challenge of an Everton team who are the joint-lowest scorers in the division.
