Ruben Amorim celebrated his first Premier League victory in command of Manchester United with a resounding 4-0 triumph over Everton on Sunday, maintaining his unbeaten start at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese manager’s tenure at United continues to gain momentum, as Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each netted a brace to secure the comfortable win.
Rashford, who scored the first goal of the Amorim era just last week, opened the scoring once again with a well-placed finish in the 34th minute. The forward quickly added his second just after halftime, showcasing his clinical form under the new management. Zirkzee joined the party, marking his return to the scoring sheet with two precise goals, his first since the season opener.
This victory propelled United to ninth place in the Premier League with 19 points, while Everton linger in 15th, precariously positioned just two points clear of the relegation zone. The Toffees have now gone four matches without finding the net, and with seven scoreless outings this season, they lead the league in that unwanted statistic.
Amorim’s debut as United manager continues to impress, as he becomes the first in the club’s history to be 2+ goals ahead at halftime in his initial Premier League home game. Rashford’s stellar performance brings his season tally to three goals under Amorim, furthering his legacy as he joins the exclusive club of Red Devils players with 50 Premier League goals at Old Trafford. United fans will hope this marks the beginning of a successful chapter for the club as they aim to climb the Premier League table.
