Man Utd player ratings vs Everton: The Marcus Rashford revival is underway – and Joshua Zirkzee isn’t a lost cause either! Ruben Amorim gets his first win in the Premier League, while Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes also shine

Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee showed they have a lot to offer new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim when they scored twice each in a 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday. The forwards have been under fire for their worrisome performances of late, but Zirkzee’s assured finishing and Rashford’s apparent revitalization will have pleased Amorim as he picked up his first Premier League win.

The Portuguese coach will complain about his side’s slow and at times worrying start, as Everton managed to force their way through the defense only to fall apart in the final third. The game needed a lucky break to unfold in the 34th minute when Rashford met a corner kick from Bruno Fernandes on the edge of the box, whose shot deflected in off Jarrad Branthwaite.

Red Devils transfer target Branthwaite had a fantastic start to the game, but his introduction to Amorim quickly ended in disaster when Amad Diallo caught him in possession and sent Fernandes leveling for Zirkzee, who scored his second goal of the season.

United had lost the game 22 seconds into the second half. Everton’s kick-off made it to Jordan Pickford, whose punt-up field was won by United and a quick forward attack ended with Amad Rashford playing through and firing it into the net. The England international has now scored in both of Amorim’s league games as coach and has scored twice in the same Premier League game for the first time since February 2023.

But it didn’t stop there for the home team. Amad was once again crucial in pushing into Everton’s half and it was he who won the ball back and advanced into the box before scoring the equalizer with a simple circling finish.
