Manchester United vs Everton: Pre-season preview, where to watch, key players

Manchester United face Everton in their last Premier League summer series fixture at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday evening.

United have been the best team in the tournament, winning their opening two games to sit atop the standings.

By contrast, Everton have been poor as they have yet to record a victory and are at the bottom of the table.

Match preview

United have been outstanding both offensively and defensively during this tournament. They have scored the most goals and conceded the fewest times.

They will be champions if they beat David Moyes’ side. Winning the competition could be a morale booster for the Red Devils ahead of the new season.

Manager Ruben Amorim has been delighted with his side’s performances but is not getting carried away.

New signing Matheus Cunha has looked bright so far, but fellow summer arrival Bryan Mbeumo has yet to make his debut, but he could feature against the Toffees.

Moyes helped Everton retain their top-flight status last term, but they have been poor in pre-season, winning one of their five games.

The Merseyside outfit have been active in the transfer market, having secured the signings of Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou. Midfielder Carlos Alcaraz has also joined permanently after impressing on loan last season.

How to watch

Subscribers of the MUTV can watch the game live via ManUtd.com or through the United App, except US-based subscribers.

Key players

Man United

Bruno Fernandes: The Portugal international has looked sharp in pre-season, scoring two goals and has worked his socks off defensively.

Matheus Cunha: He was not in sparkling form against West Ham United, but has generally performed well since making his debut against Leeds United.

Everton

Beto: The Portugal-born striker was one of the Toffees’ best players in the second half of last season. He has not been at his best in pre-season but remains a threat.

Idrissa Gueye: The hardworking midfielder won the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season award last season.
