Manchester United host Everton in the Premier League tonight, with Ruben Amorim’s side looking to keep up the pace with the sides chasing European football.
Things may finally be looking up for the Portuguese after passing a year at the helm at Old Trafford, with wins over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton and draws against Forest and Tottenham meaning United have gone five matches unbeaten for the first time in his tenure.
However, those two draws provided a reminder of United’s recent struggles in both defence and attack, and they will be wary of the danger poised by David Moyes’ side tonight.
The Toffees arrive in Manchester with four wins, three draws and four losses to start the season, and while these results show that they’re prone to real peaks and troughs in form, the presence of players such as Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish means they’re always a threat.
