Manchester United delivered a statement performance on Sunday, crushing Everton 4-0 in a fiery Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Under the guidance of new coach Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils showcased an attacking masterclass, leaving Everton reeling from start to finish.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in the 34th minute, latching onto a perfectly weighted pass from Bruno Fernandes before slotting home with precision.
Seven minutes later, Fernandes was at it again, providing another assist—this time for J. Zirkzee, who doubled United’s lead with a clinical finish.
United picked up where they left off in the second half, needing just one minute after the restart to strike again.
Rashford completed his brace with a composed effort, assisted by Amad Diallo, who was pivotal in United’s attacking play.
The hosts sealed the rout in the 64th minute when Diallo turned provider once more, setting up Zirkzee for his second goal of the match.
The Dutch forward’s powerful strike capped a dominant display for Amorim’s side.
Everton struggled to find any rhythm throughout the game, unable to match United’s intensity and creativity.
The Toffees failed to register a meaningful threat, as United’s defence held firm and their midfield controlled the tempo.
This victory marks an impressive start to Ruben Amorim’s tenure, with the Portuguese tactician securing a draw and a win in his first two matches in charge.
Amorim expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance in his post-match interview.
“It’s always special to see the players execute the plan so well,” he said. “This is just the beginning, but it shows what we are capable of.”
The emphatic win will provide a significant confidence boost for Manchester United as they continue their push for success this season.
Fans will hope this is the start of a new era under Amorim’s leadership.
