Manchester United vs. Everton preview
After losing to Newcastle at St. James Park, Erik Ten Hag got a well-deserved win against Brentford at Old Trafford.
It was a needed win due to a three-match losing streak.
Marcus Rashford’s volley in the first half was all that was needed to separate both sides.
However, the Red Devils should be grateful for David De Gea’s exceptional saves to keep them ahead of Brentford.
Manchester United returned to the top four above Tottenham and are on the same point as Newcastle, who defeated West Ham 5-1.
Newcastle possess a superior goal difference ahead of Manchester United.
The Red Devils’ destiny still remains in their own hands as they continue to fight for three points.
The old Trafford has served stellar performances for the Manchester United fans; it is a difficult place for opponents to get good results.
Everton, on the other hand, looked more ambitious than Cristian Stellini Tottenham, even with a second-half red card on Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Everton’s Michael Keane’s volley was enough to secure the needed point for the Merseyside Blues.
Tottenham’s defense had one of their worst performances of the season, which showed Antonio Conte’s explosive interview to be true about them.
Claiming a win and three draws in the last four matches was something to write about for Sean Dyche’s men.
They are clearly out of danger of relegation this season, being in 16th place in the
Premier League.
Everton experienced a dramatic change when Dyche replaced Frank Lampard this season.
Manchester United had beaten Everton twice this season, the first time in the Premier League 2-1 and the second time in the FA Cup third round 3-1.
