Abstract! The opponent received a red card due to internal strife, and the home team received a goal. Manchester United s fourth place became tenth.

There is always an illusion on the football field: I think it is OK, but it is not possible anymore; I think it is not OK, but it is OK again.

Yes, it is the Red Devils Manchester United.

In the finale of the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Everton at Old Trafford. In the standings, Manchester United ranks 10th with 18 points, and Everton ranks 13th with 15 points. The two teams are only 3 points apart. However, if Manchester United can defeat Everton in their hometown and score all 3 points, they will not only surpass their arch-rivals Liverpool, but also squeeze into the top four.

This will undoubtedly be a milestone of excitement for Manchester United, which is going back and forth between disappointment and hope. Therefore, the whole Old Trafford is looking forward to the moment of victory.

Everton is Liverpool's mortal enemy for a century, and I'm afraid they don't mind getting involved themselves and are willing to be the backdrop.

This game happens to be the first anniversary of Amorim's debut as coach of Manchester United, but the injuries to Sheshko, Cunha and Maguire forced him to start over the tactical system he had just established. This will not be easy for the fragile Manchester United.

Sure enough, Zilzek, who replaced Sheshko in the starting lineup, was out of shape due to being out of action for a long time, and Bruno lost his rhythm due to fatigue on the international match day. Manchester United played quite badly.

Zilzek ​​is outside the entire tactical system and habitually retreats, while Bruno frequently presses forward. Manchester United's front and rear are out of touch and their tactics are chaotic. Of course, Everton tried their best - veteran Coleman, who made his first start of the season, left the field due to injury shortly after the start. Keane and Gueye got into trouble again due to internal strife, and Gueye sent himself off the field with a slap.

Manchester United almost gained a huge advantage of playing one more player at the beginning, but this also made Amorin worry - Everton, with one less man, retreated across the board, and Manchester United's attack was already stretched, not to mention...

Bruno, wearing the captain's armband, frequently pushed forward, leaving the vast space behind him to the elderly Casemiro, giving Everton the most coveted counterattack space.

Just after half-time, Hall made a direct pass and dribbled the ball forward. He got rid of Bruno and passed by Yoro before cutting inside to the top of the penalty area and setting up an arrow. The ball drew a perfect arc and flew past Ramence's fingertips into the dead corner, bringing the entire Old Trafford back to the cold reality.

The numerical advantage and the advantage of the home court... have become an irony of reality. It was not until the end of the half that Manchester United had a decent shot. However, Bruno's long shot successfully stimulated Pickford's state.

After the side change, Amorim replaced Mount, Dalot and Menu one after another to strengthen the attack, and the tactics were changed to simple and crude long passes, but these were just right for Pickford, who is known as "people come crazy". Faced with Manchester United's bombardment, Pickford resisted with high resistance and made many superb saves. He made 6 saves in the game, helping Everton escape from Old Trafford after being short of one man for a long time.

Everton became the first team in the history of the Premier League to defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford with 10 players. After losing this game, Manchester United has been winless in 3 games and is still ranked tenth with 18 points.

Manchester City’s road to recovery is still long...
