The Ruben Amorim era at Manchester United is off to a fascinating start, and fans are already seeing glimpses of a brighter future. After securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Bodø/Glimt on Thursday, the Portuguese manager wants to carry that momentum into the Premier League as his side faces an out-of-form Everton at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim’s Impact
Amorim’s tactical brilliance has been evident from the get-go, with United scoring within 90 seconds of his matches in charge. Thursday’s Europa League triumph was a statement that kept United’s hopes alive in Europe and energized fans. But the Premier League presents a different challenge. Sitting in the bottom half of the table, Amorim knows that victory against Everton is essential to climb the ranks.
Facing the Toffees, a team United have historically dominated with 41 Premier League wins (a record), is the perfect opportunity for the Red Devils to build on their promising start under Amorim. With the home crowd behind them, United will aim for a fifth consecutive win over Everton, something last achieved in 2004.
Everton’s Struggles
Sean Dyche’s Everton side arrives at Old Trafford with little to inspire confidence. Winless in four league games (D3, L1) and failing to score in the last three, the Toffees’ attacking woes are glaring. Even more worrying for Everton is their dreadful away form – just one win on the road in the league since December 2023 (D6, L10).
Their recent goalless draw against Brentford saw them fail to capitalize on playing against ten men, a missed opportunity that speaks volumes about their lack of sharpness in front of goal. Everton’s last victory at Old Trafford came over a decade ago, in December 2013, and it’s hard to see that changing given their current form.
Players to Watch
Rasmus Højlund is quickly becoming a fan favorite at United. His sensational performance against Bodø/Glimt, where he scored twice and provided an assist, could earn him a starting spot. The Danish striker’s clinical touch will be pivotal if United are to exploit Everton’s shaky defense.
For Everton, Dwight McNeil is the creative spark, having created 30 chances in the Premier League this season—almost double that of his teammates. If Everton are to break their goal drought, McNeil’s ingenuity will be essential.
Prediction
With Amorim’s attacking flair revitalizing Manchester United and Everton’s lackluster form, this clash heavily favors the Red Devils. Expect United to dominate possession and create plenty of chances, with a comfortable 2-0 or 3-0 win on the cards.
