Jack Grealish is out, but Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye is the real danger
United were once linked to Grealish back in 2020 when he was thriving at Aston Villa.
Red Devils fans may remember back in 2019 when Grealish scored a wonder goal at Old Trafford, a strike that Aston Villa labelled as “magical” in a match which ended as a 2-2 draw. Many thought it was Grealish announcing himself at the Theatre of Dreams, but six years later he finds himself at Everton.

Thankfully, United will not have to handle Grealish as a threat on Monday night, but his injury absence does mean that Iliman Ndiaye is likely to start on the left of Everton’s attack instead.

It is time to settle this debate once and for all… 🍿
Ruben Amorim called Ndiaye “amazing” before this season’s reverse fixture, when the 25-year-old ended up starring in a 1-0 Everton win at Old Trafford.
Diogo Dalot will go up against Ndiaye in what will be one of several interesting duels at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Ndiaye is currently Everton’s top scorer in 2025/26 with five goals this season, so he should be treated as their top threat.
Iliman Ndiaye will be eager to impress vs Man United
There are reports of United’s interest in a £70m Ndiaye move, so it is worth keeping a close eye on how he performs on Monday evening.
Last week, Ndiaye flirted with a United move by naming Old Trafford as a stadium he would love to play in. If a move to Manchester is on his mind, he will be eager to impress against Carrick’s side.
In his pre-match press conference, David Moyes said that Ndiaye has caught back up to the speed of Premier League football after being away at AFCON.

“Started to pick up a little bit in the last game; they started to show they were getting back more to the speed of the Premier League and the intensity of what was required here,” Moyes said.
United do not have to worry about Grealish, but all focus should be on keeping his dangerous replacement quiet on Merseyside.
