Defeated in Tottenham (0-1) last weekend, Manchester United was moving this Saturday on the lawn of Everton with the firm intention of winning and thus finding a few colors after a very chaotic start to the season. For this meeting against the Toffees, 14th at the start, Ruben Amorim opted for a 3-4-3 with the return of Manuel Ugarte in the eleven. Patrick Dorgu was also present, just like Rasmus Höjlund at the forefront of the attack. Organized, for its part, in 4-2-3-1, Everton was not long in putting pressure on the cages of André Onana.

Beto pointed out for the first time but his head was not the last Cameroonian bulwark (6th). In the process, Dorgu went there from his overflow but his center was perfectly diverted by Jordan Pickford, vigilant (12th). After a balanced start to Goodison Park, the Red Devils finally cracked first. After a corner struck by Jack Harrison and (too) many duels won by Everton, Beto took advantage of a discount of Abdoulaye Doucouré to conclude from a volley of the left foot (1-0, 19th).

Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte save Mu

Sunded, Manchester United was trying to react but came to the oiled collective of David Moyes and was going to sink a little more before the break. Of extreme defensive fragility, the Red Devils left Doucouré, more quick against Harry Maguire, double the head put (2-0, 32nd). Completely out of topic, technically imprecise and overwhelmed on each offensive of the Toffees, Man U confirmed, in passing, his terrible negative spiral. Upon returning from the locker room, the physiognomy of this meeting did not change much. Too little inspired and very close to giving in (66th), Manchester United could not make its delay.

It was finally necessary to wait for a free kick from Bruno Fernandes to observe a first reaction (1-2, 72nd). A splendid achievement that woke up the players of Ruben Amorim since Manuel Ugarte equalized in the process after a new blow of the Portuguese (2-2, 80th). In the last moments, the score was no longer evolved and the two teams left themselves back to back (2-2) despite a last huge fear for Man U, very close to conceding a penalty for a hanging of Maguire and Ligt on Ashley Young (90+5th). With this result, Everton dates back to the 12th row while the Red Devils stagnate in 15th place. Despite this point of the draw snatched on the thread, it is difficult not to forget the new indigestible performance of the Mancunians and to ask the following question: is Rúben Amorim still the man of the situation?
