After securing his first European win midweek, Amorim aimed for his first Premier League victory as United boss. The hosts struggled early on while Everton took time to find their rhythm. Then the Toffees began countering effectively, with Beto leading the charge, though his effort was off target. United took control, and on 34 minutes, a clever corner routine led to Marcus Rashford’s deflected volley off Jarrad Branthwaite, giving United the lead. They doubled their advantage before the break when Amad Diallo won possession high up the pitch, setting up Joshua Zirkzee for a tap-in, marking his first goal since the season opener.
