What does a team do when they finally get it? What if one of their underrated players suddenly steps up and wins in a way that no one saw coming? Yes, that's what happened when Manchester United beat Everton 4-0 in a thrilling Premier League match.
After the first whistle, United looked like a team with a goal. They took charge of the game and never let go, thanks to a mix of young energy and experienced skill. It was hard for Everton to keep up with United as they launched wave after wave of relentless attack, taking advantage of their opponents' defensive mistakes to create magical moments.
Manchester United Cruise To 4-0 Win Over Everton
At the start of the game, Everton was much the better side even though they had a few chances; United scored first. Marcus Rashford, always a threat, scored the first goal in the 34th minute. After only seven minutes, Joshua Zirkzee doubled the lead on his first Premier League start since September. He was under pressure to perform amid a disappointing start to his Old Trafford career. United were clearly in charge when they headed in 2-0 ahead at halftime.
Manchester United got off to a great start in the second half. Just 20 seconds after the break, Rashford scored again. This time, he pounced on Amad Diallo's through ball and finished expertly past Jordan Pickford. As if that wasn't enough, Zirkzee scored his second game goal in the 64th minute. The score was now a decisive 4-0, which left Everton stunned and unable to react.

This win was more than just three points for United; it was a turning point in Amorim's tenure as new head coach. With this dominant performance, the Red Devils moved up to ninth place in the Premier League table. Earlier in the season, they had trouble getting wins. Everton, on the other hand, remain in trouble. They are just above the relegation zone and haven't scored in any of their last four games.
Now, the question is whether Manchester United can continue with this form. The rest of the Premier League has been put on notice that this is a Red Devils team ready to return to its glory days under Amorim.
