The Red Devils returned to winning ways in the Premier League following Everton’s release under Sean Dyche.
Here are some things Erik ten Hag did well and poorly as the Manchester team earned a much-needed but unimpressive victory;
1. Manchester United’s Slow Start:
Manchester United secured a crucial victory against Everton, despite a sluggish start that saw them trailing. Rather than coming out strong, United appeared lethargic and prone to turnovers, with Casemiro notably struggling.
Fortunately for United, Everton lacked sharpness in attack, squandering opportunities and resorting to reckless challenges.
2. Defensive Concerns Persist:
While United managed to hold on to their lead, defensive frailties continued to surface. Despite some valiant defensive efforts, the team’s lack of cohesion and pace at the back remained evident.
Casemiro’s inability to effectively shield the defense highlighted the need for reinforcements in the summer transfer window.
3. Garnacho Shines Bright:
Amidst United’s struggles, Facundo Garnacho emerged as a standout performer against Everton. Displaying his trademark trickery and directness, the Argentine winger posed a constant threat to the opposition.
His incisive runs unnerved Everton’s defense, drawing fouls that led to crucial penalties. Despite narrowly missing a chance to score, Garnacho’s impact was evident, earning him praise for his performance.
