Ruben Amorim will manage his first Premier League match at Old Trafford when the Red Devils host Everton on Sunday. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Manchester United scored an early goal for a second straight match under Amorim and lost the lead again, but this time they successfully secured the win, a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday, thanks to a brace from Rasmus Holjund.
The Portuguese manager secured his first win as United boss, but he is yet to taste victory in the Premier League, drawing 1-1 with Ipswich Town in his opening match despite going ahead early in the game.

Everton, meanwhile, have been relatively solid in recent weeks, losing just one of their last six league games. Despite their defensive resilience, goals have been hard to come by for the Toffees, scoring only three times in that period.

Manchester United vs. Everton Predictions & Betting Tips
Given how both teams have been defensively cautious in recent weeks, while the visitors have struggled for goals, we will not be surprised to get another low-scoring affair.
However, given that this is Amorim’s first home game in the PL, we expect Manchester United to be up for the occasion, while the energy from the home support helps them edge it.
