"Presented with the chance to prove they're making real progress and move into the Premier League's top four with a victory over an Everton side that had won just once at Old Trafford in the past 33 years, they inexplicably managed to slip to a calamitous 1-0 defeat. Everton even tried to sweeten the deal by playing with 10 men for 77 minutes after Idrissa Gueye's ludicrous red card for slapping teammate Michael Keane."
"There was a point toward the end of the game, with United chasing an equalizer, that Amad Diallo raced to take a throw-in and was penalized for failing to realize he was still standing on the pitch. It says something when a team receiving a red card because their own players fought with each other on the pitch isn't the most ridiculous thing that happened during the game."
Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Everton at Old Trafford, failing to capitalize on Everton's early struggles and a 77-minute numerical advantage after a red card. Idrissa Gueye received a red card for slapping teammate Michael Keane, leaving Everton with 10 men, yet United produced a diabolical performance marked by inexcusable errors and a lack of intensity. Ruben Amorim described frustration and disappointment, conceding Everton defended well. United dominated neither early nor late phases, with poor final-third play and moments of confusion, prompting loud boos from fans at full time and damaging United's top-four ambitions.
