"Gary Neville did not hold back after watching Manchester United slip to a 1-0 home defeat against Everton, describing the performance as "not acceptable" and saying it "smelt of complacency." United had an early advantage when Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye was sent off in the 13th minute for slapping his team-mate Michael Keane in a strange moment that left the visitors a man down."
"Despite that, it was Everton who struck first, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall firing in shortly before the break. Jordan Pickford's superb goalkeeping, combined with a flat United display, ensured the visitors protected their lead and condemned the hosts to a loss at home to 10 men for the first time ever. A win would have pushed Ruben Amorim's men up as high as 4th, but instead, they stay 10th in a tightly packed Premier League table where only 5 points separate Chelsea in 2nd from Liverpool in 12th."
""It's as if they've imagined in their heads they're going to be in the Champions League places, and they thought that maybe before the game.""
Manchester United lost 1-0 at home to Everton despite Everton being reduced to ten men early on after Idrissa Gueye's 13th-minute red card for slapping teammate Michael Keane. Everton took the lead through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall shortly before halftime, and Jordan Pickford's excellent goalkeeping preserved the advantage. United's display was described as flat and complacent, with criticism that the squad were mentally unsettled by the chance to move into Champions League positions. The defeat left United 10th in a close Premier League table, five points separating second to twelfth positions.
