Amad Diallo was praised for his performance as a 'professional pest,' pressuring opponents and contributing to goals, including assisting Joshua Zirkzee's fourth goal. His ability to wriggle through tight spaces and make decisive passes also stood out.
The victory marked Manchester United's biggest margin of victory in the Premier League since August 2021, when they beat Leeds 5-1. It was also a statement win, as the team under Ruben Amorim showed a more aggressive and goal-hungry approach compared to previous managers.
Joshua Zirkzee had his best performance for Manchester United so far, scoring two goals and providing an assist for Rashford's third goal. His work rate off the ball and ability to close down opponents also contributed to the team's success.
Fans protested both before and during the game, chanting '£66 you're taking the piss' and 'stop exploiting our loyalty.' There were also anti-Glazers and anti-Jim Ratcliffe chants, reflecting strong discontent with the financial decisions affecting match-going supporters.
Arsenal's strong home form and the return of Martin Odegaard make them a significant threat. Manchester United will need to be sharp and may rely on set pieces to break them down, as they did against Everton. The away form remains a concern, with only one win so far this season.
Amorim's rotation strategy focuses on injury prevention, with early substitutions and careful management of player minutes. This approach aims to keep the squad fresh and avoid overworking players, which has been a positive change for the team's fitness and performance.
For the first time since the end of the 2012-13 season, Manchester United's goal difference (+4) is better than Manchester City's (+3) after 10 or more matches. This is a rare occurrence post-Alex Ferguson era and reflects United's improved performance in recent games.
Carlos Fernandes was credited with designing the set-piece routine that led to Manchester United's first goal. He has been actively involved in coaching set pieces during warm-ups and is seen as a key figure in improving the team's set-piece efficiency.
Manchester United four, Everton nil. It's the type of result that shouldn't be as rare as it has become but we're happy with the scoreline and delighted with the performance of the team, despite a fairly unspectacular opening period.
Amad Diallo was the man of the match, a 'professional pest' and provider of the fourth goal. That was scored by Joshua Zirkzee, who himself put in possible his best showing at the club so far.
There was more unrest at ticket price hikes, including chants against Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and we reflect on your reaction to the news, plus a preview of Arsenal away (that's the league fixture, not the FA Cup third round!).
