Manchester United vs Everton LIVE: Result and final score after Rashford and Zirkzee hit doubles
Relive all the action as Ruben Amorim secures his first Premier League win in charge at Old Trafford
Manchester United won their first Premier League game under new boss Ruben Amorim after sweeping past Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford.
After a draw at Ipswich and a comeback win in the Europa League against Bodo/Glimt, United started quickly against the Toffees and race into the lead.
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.
And Sean Dyche’s side were put away in the second half after Rashford and Zirkzee doubled their tallies to complete a comfortable afternoon for the Red Devils. Relive all the action from Old Trafford below:
Manchester United vs Everton
United head into this game sitting in 13th – with just 16 points – after their draw against Ipswich last weekend.
They earned a 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt after coming from behind in midweek, though there were encouraging signs from some players in that match.
Much will once again be made of Amorim’s chosen formation and how the players are seen to be adapting to it.
Everton’s form has been similarly mixed, with 0-0 draws against Brentford and West Ham in their last two games and a 1-0 loss to Southampton in the match before that.
It doesn’t get any easier for the Toffees either, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea up next in three of their four upcoming matches.
