Ruben Amorim made a dream start to his home Premier League managerial career as Manchester United delivered a dominant 4-0 victory over struggling Everton on Sunday. The result was powered by doubles from Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee, leaving the home crowd at Old Trafford chanting Amorim’s name.
After a mixed start to his tenure with a 1-1 draw at Ipswich, Amorim’s team showed their attacking potential with a commanding performance against Everton, who are near the relegation zone. Rashford opened the scoring in the 34th minute, with his deflected shot off Jarrad Branthwaite, before Zirkzee capitalized on a defensive mistake to double United’s lead.

Rashford’s second goal came early in the second half after a quick restart, showcasing his confidence under the new manager. Zirkzee, who had struggled for form, capped off the night with his second goal after another brilliant assist from Amad Diallo.
The victory lifted Manchester United to ninth in the table, just four points behind the top four, with a challenging trip to Arsenal next. For the United fans, it was a much-needed dose of excitement, in stark contrast to pre-match protests against the club’s owners over ticket price hikes.
Everton, on the other hand, remain dangerously close to the relegation zone and face a difficult run of fixtures in the coming weeks.
