Ruben Amorim celebrated his first Premier League victory in style as Manchester United dismantled Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each netted twice, marking a dominant display for the Red Devils under their new manager.
Rashford, who has been searching for his best form, was electric, scoring his first double in 22 months. Amorim’s faith in the 27-year-old seems to be paying off as he reminded fans of the prolific forward who once scored 30 goals in a season.
Zirkzee, who had struggled for consistency, also found redemption with two well-taken goals. His last league goal had come on the opening day, making his performance a significant boost for United’s attacking options.
Match Highlights:
• Opening Goals: Rashford’s first strike came in the 34th minute, deflecting off Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite into the net. Zirkzee doubled the lead shortly after, capitalizing on a defensive error.
• Second-Half Brilliance: Rashford added his second moments into the second half, finishing a well-timed pass from Amad Diallo. Zirkzee completed the rout in the 64th minute with a clinical finish after another assist from Amad.
Amad Diallo, instrumental throughout, provided two assists and showcased his growing influence under Amorim. Meanwhile, Everton, who had only one defeat in their previous eight games, failed to pose a significant threat, with their best chance seeing Beto hit the side netting in the first half.
This emphatic win gives United a morale boost ahead of a challenging midweek fixture against Arsenal. Amorim’s tenure is off to a promising start, with Rashford and Zirkzee leading the charge in a rejuvenated Red Devils side.
