Introduction
Manchester United secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Everton in their first Premier League game under new manager Ruben Amorim. After an uneven start to his tenure, including a draw at Ipswich and a comeback in the Europa League, Amorim’s team delivered a thrilling performance at Old Trafford.
Early Dominance
The match began with United on the front foot. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring with a deflected shot from a Bruno Fernandes corner. United’s fast-paced style, which emphasizes high pressing, quickly paid off again when Amad Diallo and Fernandes won possession in Everton’s half, allowing Joshua Zirkzee to double the lead.
Second Half Show of Strength
In the second half, Rashford and Zirkzee each scored again, putting the game beyond Everton’s reach. Rashford’s goal came after a brilliant counter-attack, finishing with composure past Pickford. With the game firmly in United’s control, the match ended 4-0, giving Amorim a perfect start at Old Trafford.
Amorim’s Debut Victory
Amorim’s first Premier League win as Manchester United manager followed a rocky start. Despite early challenges, including a tough 2-1 loss in the Europa League, he found success against Everton. His quick adaptation to the Premier League’s demands has brought hope for more solid performances in the future. The fans’ warm welcome showed their support, with Amorim commenting on how special it felt to be part of the club.
A Promising Future
Looking ahead, Amorim will aim to continue improving the team’s performances. United’s inconsistent results this season, including low goalscoring returns, suggest room for improvement. But with Amorim’s track record of success at Sporting CP and a strong debut at home, there’s optimism that the team can progress further under his leadership.
