Manchester United Thrash Everton 4-0 as Rashford and Zirkzee Shine

Manchester United secured a convincing 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scoring crucial goals. The victory marked Ruben Amorim’s first Premier League win at home and Manchester United’s fourth win of the season.

Rashford’s Brace Leads United to Victory

Marcus Rashford was the star of the show, scoring a brace to put United 3-0 up. His first goal came in the 34th minute, courtesy of a precise pass from Bruno Fernandes. Rashford’s second goal came just after halftime, in the 46th minute, as he slotted home a rebound from a Amad Diallo shot.

Zirkzee Doubles United’s Lead

Joshua Zirkzee doubled United’s lead over Everton, scoring in the 41st minute. The Dutch forward’s goal was a result of United’s relentless press, which forced Everton’s defense into a mistake. Zirkzee capitalized on the error, slotting home a calm finish past Jordan Pickford.

United’s Dominant Performance

The match saw Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United dominate possession, with 61% of the ball, and outshoot Everton 6-4. United’s press led to several scoring opportunities, and their defense looked solid, restricting Everton to just a few chances.

Everton’s Lackluster Performance

Everton, on the other hand, struggled to create chances, with their best opportunity coming from Dwight McNeil, who was dispossessed by Casemiro. The Toffees’ lack of clinical finishing ultimately cost them the match.

Ruben Amorim First Premier League Win

After the match, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim praised his team’s performance, saying, “I’m delighted with the win and the performance. We played some great football, and the goals were well-deserved.”

Everton manager Sean Dyche, on the other hand, was disappointed with his team’s display, saying, “We didn’t start well, and we didn’t react well to going behind. We need to improve our performance and get back to winning ways.”
