Everton Face Red Devils At Old Trafford

Everton travel to face Manchester United at Old Trafford, who have new manager Ruben Amorim in charge.

On the 1st November, Manchester United announced that Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim will join the club on the 11th November. The ex-Benfica player decided to start his managerial career in 2018, representing Casa Pia, who were in the third tier of Portuguese football. The year after, Amorim moved to Braga as a reserve team manager before, a few months later, being promoted to first team manager.

Since his reign at Braga, the 39-year-old moved to Sporting Lisbon, being in charge for a huge 231 games before the big move to Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim is undefeated for the 3 games he has been in charge of so far for the Red Devils, with a 3-0 win over Leicester, a 1-1 away against Ipswich, and a 3-2 win over Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League.

Now full focus onto tomorrow’s fixture, Everton will be going into the game as underdogs, due to the positions of both teams in the league table and the club's recent form going in favour of the home side.

Throughout the duration of November, Everton were not able to get three points, but more shocking is the fact the Toffees did not score a goal. Last time out, Everton could not seem to break through the 10-man Brentford defence throughout the second half, leading to a goalless draw.
