Manchester United are set to face Everton at Old Trafford in the Premier League tomorrow.
They arrive unbeaten in their last five, and a win over the Toffees would send a powerful message in their growing push for a top-four finish.
United dismantled Everton 4–0 in this fixture last season, a rout inspired by brilliant braces from Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford.
While Bruno Fernandes produced a fantastic performance, Amad Diallo truly stole the show with his tenacious performance.
He had a crucial role to play in three of the four goals, including picking up two assists.
Starting at right wing-back, Diallo caused huge problems for Everton with his tireless pressing.
He stole the ball from Jarrad Branthwaite in the build-up to the second goal.
Diallo then took full control after the break, providing two superb assists for Rashford and Zirkzee as United ran riot.
United head coach Ruben Amorim used Diallo higher up the pitch against Tottenham Hotspur, but restoring him to the right wing-back role feels like the smartest call.
This will allow Amorim to field Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha or Mason Mount in the two number 10 positions.
The 23-year-old started the 2025-26 season poorly but is now slowly discovering his form.
He has two assists and one goal in the last four games.
The Ivorian could go up against Everton left-back Vitalii Mykolenko, who had a terrible outing in the 4-0 loss.
The Portuguese coach will hope Diallo can once again be the spark that ignites United when the Toffees arrive at Old Trafford.
