This weekend, Manchester United will face Everton in the third match of the Ruben Amorim era. After a thrilling 3-2 victory against FK Bodø/Glimt midweek in the UEFA Europa League, this match marks United’s first Premier League home game under Amorim, providing him an opportunity to influence the team’s performance.
United’s journey so far has been rocky; after taking an early lead in his first match at Ipswich Town, they settled for a frustrating draw. The Red Devils aim to secure vital points to maintain a competitive stance for European qualification.
On the other hand, Everton is precariously close to the relegation zone, a scenario they’ve been familiar with lately. A surprise win at Old Trafford could close the gap to just two points behind United, potentially raising concerns for the Manchester club.
