Ruben Amorim Earns First Premier League Win in Style

Ruben Amorim secured his first Premier League victory as Manchester United manager with an emphatic 4-0 win over struggling Everton at Old Trafford. After drawing with Ipswich and defeating Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, Amorim’s side showcased clinical finishing despite a shaky start. United capitalized on defensive errors from Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. Marcus Rashford’s deflected shot off Branthwaite gave the hosts the lead, followed by Amad Diallo’s interception setting up Bruno Fernandes to assist Joshua Zirkzee for the second goal.

Rashford added his second early in the second half, courtesy of Diallo’s precise pass while Zirkzee completed the rout with a composed finish in the 64th minute. Amorim remains unbeaten in his first three games and is quickly winning over United fans, who chanted his name in celebration. Known for an unbeaten home record with Sporting last season, Amorim has already injected new energy into United. Diallo, often overlooked by former manager Erik ten Hag impressed with his relentless work rate and creativity, contributing three assists in two games.

Rashford regaining form after a challenging spell scored twice to bring his Premier League tally to four goals. Zirkzee often doubted by fans rewarded Ruben Amorim’s trust with a brace, highlighting his potential under the new regime. United’s victory moved them to ninth place ahead of a tough trip to Arsenal. For Everton, the loss deepens their troubles. Sean Dyche’s side remains winless in their last five league games, struggling to score with just 10 goals all season.

Despite early chances for Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton’s lack of cutting edge left them 15th only two points above the relegation zone. With challenging fixtures ahead including matches against Liverpool and Manchester City, the pressure on Dyche continues to mount.
