Amorim expects United to be more dominant one year after first game in charge

Manchester United host Everton in the Premier League tonight as Ruben Amorim’s side look to cement their place in the race for European football.

The hosts begin the day in 10th place after a run of form that has seen them move just five points behind second with a game in hand, and recent wins over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton showed positive signs to suggest that United can challenge for Europe this term.

While the draws to Nottingham Forest and Tottenham reminded fans of some of the attacking and defensive struggles that have plagued Amorim’s side, United have benefitted from the mixed form of their rivals, and they welcome David Moyes’ side with the chance to move into the top four.

Matheus Cunha is not in the Manchester United squad after picking up a knock in training, in news first broken by Altrincham town hall on Saturday night after the Brazil forward missed a Christmas lights switch-on.

Everton’s own mixed form sees them in the bottom half of the table after four wins, four losses and three draws, but with players such as Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish, the Toffees are more than capable of upsetting United this evening.

Ruben Amorim defends decision to offload Rasmus Hojlund after Benjamin Sesko injury

Ruben Amorim defended his decision to let Rasmus Hojlund leave Manchester United even as Benjamin Sesko’s knee injury leaves him short of specialist strikers.

Summer signing Sesko will be out for around three weeks and the £73m signing will miss United’s game against Everton on Monday.

United allowed Hojlund, a £64m buy in 2023, to go to Napoli on loan with a view to a £38m permanent deal at the end of the transfer window and the Dane has scored four goals for the Serie A champions.
