Marcus Rashford crashed home the opener from a corner from Bruno Fernandes’ delivery.
And the Red Devils doubled their lead, showcasing Amorim’s fast-paced style and an emphasis on pressing through Amad Diallo and Fernandes to claim possession deep in the Everton half before Joshua Zirkzee converted.

Manchester United vs Everton
There's the final whistle, as Manchester United complete a one-sided 4-0 rout over Everton at Old Trafford to give Ruben Amorim his first win in the Premier League! Already 2-0 up from the first half, the hosts made it three almost instantly, as Rashford rattled in his second goal just 20 seconds after the restart. A fourth followed just 18 minutes later to seal the three points, with Amad involved yet again to steal possession and tee up Zirkzee for a brace of his own. United generated just 0.73 xG to Everton's 0.65, who had a glorious chance to net a consolation goal, only for Calvert-Lewin's diving header to be kept out by Onana in their only real chance of the second half. Sean Dyche's side remain 15th in the table following a fifth game without a win and fourth without a goal, while the Red Devils climb up to ninth with their first Premier League win of the Amorim era.

The hosts patiently build their latest attack as the ball is moved to Amad on the right, and after he cuts inside, he goes down under pressure from Doucoure and Mykolenko in the box, but the referee says no penalty and waves play on!

We'll play four additional minutes as United close in on their most impressive win of the season so far – by a distance – while Everton will be hoping to hear the full-time whistle as soon as possible.

Rashford has now been involved in seven goals in his last eight Premier League games against Everton (four goals, three assists), scoring in his last three on the bounce and becoming the sixth player to score 50 in the Premier League at Old Trafford for the Red Devils.

Garnacho's ball into the feet of Zirkzee on the edge of the box bobbles up to Rashford, but his first-time finish is woeful and flashes well wide of the target.

SAVED!!! Harrison's cross from the right flank is met by a diving header from Calvert-Lewin, but the ball bounces up to hit Onana in the midriff before he regathers the ball to snuff out Everton's best chance of the match!

Patterson is played in behind the United backline and crosses for Calvert-Lewin at the near post, but Onana gets to the ball first and collects before being clattered by the Everton striker.
