Everton’s victory will not convince Man Utd’s critics who believe he is a “dead man walking.”

Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United secured a crucial victory against Everton, thanks in part to the standout performance of teenage winger Alejandro Garnacho. Despite concerns about the team’s overall performance, individual brilliance, particularly from Garnacho, helped secure the win with two penalties.

While Garnacho’s performance was exceptional, contributions from players like Bruno

Fernandes, Jonny Evans, and goalkeeper Andre Onana also played a significant role in the victory.

Everton, despite their strong start and numerous chances, left Old Trafford feeling

they should have earned at least a point.

Manchester United’s defensive vulnerabilities were evident once again, with Everton registering 20 shots throughout the game. However, United managed to capitalize on their chances, with Fernandes converting a penalty early on and Rashford adding another from the spot later in the game.

Despite Everton’s continued efforts to push forward, they struggled to capitalize on opportunities and were ultimately punished by United’s clinical finishing. With their winless streak in the Premier

League stretching back to mid-December and a lack of goals this year, Everton

finds themselves in a precarious position in the league standings.

While United’s lead may have seemed generous based on the balance of play,

Everton’s inability to convert chances highlights their ongoing struggles in front of goal.

As the season progresses and with league safety still uncertain, Everton faces increasing pressure to turn performances into points.
