Manchester United Cruise to 4-0 Victory Over Everton Under Amorim's Leadership

Manchester United produced a dominant display at Old Trafford, securing a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Everton to give Ruben Amorim his first Premier League win as manager. The result saw United rise to ninth in the league standings, while Everton's struggles continued, with Sean Dyche's side remaining in 15th place after their fifth consecutive game without a win.

The hosts were already in control by halftime, leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. However, they wasted no time in extending their advantage in the second half. Just 20 seconds after the restart, Rashford doubled his tally, finishing a swift counter-attack to make it 3-0.

Zirkzee then added a fourth for United 18 minutes later, once again linking up with Amad Diallo, who had been instrumental in winning back possession before setting up the Dutch forward for a simple finish. Zirkzee’s brace capped off a clinical second half performance from the Red Devils.

Everton had little to offer in response. Despite generating an xG of 0.65 to United’s 0.73, the visitors struggled to create meaningful chances throughout the match. Their best opportunity came in the second half when Dominic Calvert-Lewin met a cross with a diving header, but United goalkeeper Andre Onana was alert to make an excellent save and keep the Toffees at bay.

The defeat extended Everton's winless run, and their ongoing lack of goals was evident once again, as they failed to score for the fourth consecutive game. Meanwhile, Amorim’s United side displayed a strong attacking performance, with Amad continuing to impress in his role as a creative catalyst.

For Amorim, this result marks an important step in his Premier League journey, and United will now look to build momentum after securing their first league win under the Portuguese manager.

Meanwhile, Everton's woes are deepening, and Dyche faces a difficult task to turn his team’s form around as they face another tough fixture next week.
