Manchester United are unstoppable at Old Trafford. Today, they secured their 23rd victory from 28 games at Old Trafford by defeating Everton. Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial scored for the Red Devils as Man United beat Everton.

As it happened

Manchester United welcomed Everton at Old Trafford today. Man United's manager Erik Ten Hag made several changes to the squad against the Toffees. Due to the tight schedule, the manager rotated his squad, benching Rafael Varane, Diego Dalot, and Weghorst. Erik Ten Hag set up the team formation with 4-2-3-1, where Marcus Rashford led the attack with Jadon Sancho and Antony. Harry Maguire was in the starting XI after a long time and paired up with Lisandro Martinez. On the other hand, Everton's boss played his team in a 4-4-2 formation. The match started with Man United dominating the Toffees. They highly pushed Everton in search of goals. Manchester United took 21 shots in the first half alone. However, the first goal came in the 36th minute as Scott McTominay found the net with the help of Jadon Sancho. Therefore, the first half ended with Man United taking the lead. Returning from the break, Manchester United slowed down the match. While Man United took 21 shots in the first half, they were allowed to take only eight shots in the 2nd half. However, Everton tried hard to level the scoreline, but Man United defended very well. Erik Ten Hag deployed Anthony Martial in the 60th minute, replacing Antony, and guess what? Martial took only 11 minutes to write his name on the scoresheet. In the 71st minute, Manchester United doubled their lead as Anthony Martial scored with Rashford's assist. Everton failed to return one in the remaining minutes. Therefore, Manchester United secured their 23rd victory at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag furious about the tight schedule

Man United boss Erik Ten hag is not happy about the tight schedule of Manchester United. Because of the busy fixture, Marcus Rashford got a knock today during the game against Everton. Ten Hag said, "It's too much. Especially when you played last Sunday night and then the first game on the Saturday. In the week, you have to make the game against Brentford, the game instead of the Carabao Cup. So you get punished for reaching the final, so it is not right." The manager talked about Rashford's injury. "I don't know [about Marcus]. It is like this when you have to play so many games on short notice, especially when the schedule is this tight. Players can't recover and you run the risk that players can get injured. You have to be aware of that," said the manager.
