United’s New Era Under Amorim Kicks Off with a 4-0 Victory Over Everton
In a display of sheer dominance at Old Trafford, Manchester United crushed Everton 4-0, marking Ruben Amorim’s first Premier League home game with a victory. The stars of the show were Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee, each scoring twice, showcasing their lethal form under the new management.
The match kicked off with Rashford setting the tone after 30 minutes. A cleverly taken corner by Bruno Fernandes found Rashford, who elegantly half-volleyed the ball into the net. The home crowd hadn’t even settled back into their seats before Fernandes was in action again, assisting Zirkzee for the second goal. This time, Amad Diallo’s relentless pressure forced a mistake from Everton’s defense, allowing Fernandes to set up Zirkzee.
The second half was barely 20 seconds old when Rashford, fed by Diallo, scored his second, demonstrating his renewed vigor under Amorim. Diallo, proving to be the linchpin in United’s attack, set up Zirkzee once more after dispossessing James Tarkowski, leading to United’s fourth goal.
Ruben Amorim, who had faced an initial setback with a draw against Ipswich Town, saw his tactics pay dividends as his team moved up to ninth in the league standings. The match wasn’t just a win but a statement of intent from the Red Devils.
Everton, on the other hand, struggled to make an impact, with their best chance coming from Beto, who rounded Andre Onana but failed to score. The visitors’ lackluster performance left them teetering just above the relegation zone, with no wins in their last five league games. Manager Sean Dyche faces an uphill battle with tough fixtures looming on the horizon.
