- MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 EVERTON: #PL FULL-TIME THOUGHTS
- United can be happy with the win but would need to ask themselves questions about their prolificacy in front of goal. The Red Devils missed loads of great chances to really humble Everton but were mostly let down by poor finishing. #MUNEVE
- Christian Eriksen made his return to the team in what is a huge boost for Wrik ten Hag in the final stretch of the season. #MUNEVE
- United could suffer a blow with Marcus Rashford's latest injury. The Englishman appeared to pull a groin and could miss their clash against Sevilla next Thursday in the Europa League. #MUNEVE
- Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, and Bruno Fernandes were impressive against Everton and could increase their chances of game time under Erik ten Hag in the last few games of the campaign. #MUNEVE
- For Everton, Sean Dyche should count himslef lucky to have avoided a humiliating defeat at Old Trafford. #MUNEVE
- Everton are now in the relegation zone proper and would need to put up a serious fight to survive once again this season, beginning with their next match against Fulham. #MUNEVE
"A lot of it was self-inflicted.
— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) April 8, 2023
"Getting done with straight balls, not tuning into the game quick enough."

- Here's Sean Dyche's thought on Everton's 2-0 defeat against Manchester United. #MUNEVE
- Ten Hag on McTominay: “Great player, great personality. So happy I have him in my squad – he gives all his energy, never gives up, so it’s great.”#MUNEVE
- Ten Hag on Rashford’s injury: “We have to wait — it doesn’t look well. Once again, it is due to the schedule; it can’t be that you play three games in six days. We have to protect our players.” #MUNEVE
"He's a great player, a great personality.

"I'm so happy I have him in my squad."
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag lauds Scott McTominay and provides an injury update on Marcus Rashford after their win over Everton.
🎙 @TheDesKelly pic.twitter.com/rvhKyL556f
- Ten Hag: “We played very good in and out of possession, so big compliment to the team performance.” #MUNEVE
- Ten Hag: “It was a brilliant performance, we have played three games in six days and they still delivered this, it is a big compliment to the team.” #MUNEVE
- Erik ten Hag on Manchester United's 2-0 win against Everton: “We have to be more clinical, clear. More ruthless in the box of the opponent, this game already has to be finished at half time.” [via BT Sport] #MUNEVE
