"A year to the day since Ruben Amorim fielded his first Manchester United XI, his latest iteration folded in capitulation to 10-man Everton, who ended United's unbeaten run at five games. Idrissa Gueye's bizarre walking orders for slapping Michael Keane, his centre-back, gave United most of the match to overcome Everton, who had previously won once at Old Trafford in 32 years before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 20-yard strike gave David Moyes a first victory here as a visiting manager in the Premier League."
"The Scot's team are up to 11th, level on 18 points with United, who missed the chance to break into the top five by failing to win in such lacklustre fashion. Towards the end Joshua Zirzkee twice directed headers that forced Jordan Pickford into flying saves but these were rare moments of potency from United. Yet again Amorim's team were disjointed and if they are to threaten a Champions League place the head coach has much more fixing to do."
Everton won at Old Trafford courtesy of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's 20-yard strike, giving David Moyes his first Premier League victory at the ground as an away manager. Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping Michael Keane, leaving Everton with 10 men for most of the match. Manchester United produced occasional chances, with Joshua Zirkzee forcing flying saves from Jordan Pickford, but the side largely lacked potency and cohesion. Ruben Amorim's team included six survivors from his debut XI yet remained disjointed. United sit level on 18 points and missed the opportunity to move into the top five.
