After two unbeaten but unconvincing opening matches, coach Ruben Amorim and Man Utd pleased fans by beating Everton 4-0. Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each scored 2 goals.
Everton have been one of the best defensive teams in the Premier League in recent times. However, when facing Man Utd, coach Sean Dyche's team conceded twice as many goals as in the previous 6 matches combined. Of the 4 times they conceded, Everton "gave" their opponents 3 goals or clear chances.

Man Utd did not overwhelm and surpass their opponents in terms of control. However, against opponents with such poor quality of play, the "Red Devils" only needed to focus on defense and overcome their biggest weakness, which was the ability to take advantage of opportunities.
In a losing position, the home team opened the scoring when Rashford's low shot deflected off defender Jarrad Branthwaite's foot and changed direction into a goal. Not long after, Branthwaite himself easily lost the ball, creating an opportunity for Man Utd to double the gap.
Rashford increased the score to 3-0 in the first phase of the second half. Everton "gave" Man Utd another goal with an amateurish loss of the ball by the defender. Zirkzee was the beneficiary.
Leading 4-0 before the end of the second half, coach Ruben Amorim gradually withdrew key players to save energy for the match against Arsenal in the middle of the week. Everton pushed up their squad but their attack was too weak. Man Utd had their first match without conceding a goal under the new coach.
