Since taking charge as Manchester United’s head coach a year ago, Ruben Amorim has, for the first time, led the team through a five-game unbeaten streak, securing three wins and two draws. After the November international break, all eyes will be on the Manchester United vs Everton clash at Old Trafford – a fixture historically dominated by the home side – as United look to continue their strong run against the Toffees in the league.
October proved to be a successful month for the Red Devils, as they not only won all their matches, but Ruben Amorim also claimed the EPL Manager of the Month award, together with attacker, Bryan Mbeumo – whose impressive form since joining Manchester United from Brentford has positioned him as a key figure in ending the club’s 12-year wait for the league title – was named October’s Player of the Month.
Everton, revitalised under David Moyes, are also showing signs of improvement as they sit 13th in the Premier League table with 15 points, just three points behind Manchester United, whom they face after the two-week break. This season, the Toffees have blown hot and cold, with three of their four defeats in the league coming against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham.
The Manchester United vs Everton clash promises to be a compelling encounter as both sides look to build momentum following the international break. United will be eager to continue their unbeaten run, relying on Ruben Amorim’s favoured 3-4-2-1 and the sharp form of Bryan Mbeumo to secure all three points at Old Trafford.
Everton, on the other hand, will be aiming to capitalise on their resurgence under David Moyes and start their own unbeaten run after their 2-1 win against Fulham in GW11. Despite their inconsistent start to the season, the Toffees have shown they can challenge the top sides, and a positive result in the Manchester United vs Everton game could boost their confidence and climb up the Premier League table.
Key Players in the Manchester United vs Everton Fixture
Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes
Despite registering two goals and three assists this season, it has been a relatively slow campaign for a player who has been Manchester United’s standout performer over the past five years. Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes will be eager to end his six-game goal drought against the Toffees. Yet, even without finding the net, he continues to dictate play from midfield, contributing three assists in his last four appearances.
Bruno, during the international break scored a hat-trick for his national team in their emphatic 9-1 win over Armenia, a result that sealed their qualification for the 2026 World Cup. And with that kind of form, United fans would hope that against Everton he can carry that momentum into the league and deliver another decisive performance.
Bryan Mbeumo
October’s Player of the Month, Bryan Mbeumo, has continued his fine form, having scored against Tottenham in their last outing. He will be hoping to find the back of the net once again to help his side secure all three points. His presence elevates the performance of those around him.
A dynamic runner off the ball, the Cameroonian’s blend of pace, power, and technique will pose a real challenge for Everton’s defenders, but remaining consistent and improving on his decision-making in the final third will be key if he’s to make a decisive impact on the Manchester United vs Everton game.

Everton
Jack Grealish
Former Manchester City man, Jack Grealish, has looked like a completely different player since his move to Everton. He has rediscovered the freedom he lacked at City, thriving as the creative heartbeat of the team. With his vision, skill, and leadership qualities on full display, he has quickly become Everton’s main man and a key figure in their push up the Premier League table. So far this season, he has contributed one goal and four assists and has created 24 chances – five behind United’s Fernandes.
In his side’s fight to finish higher up the Premier League table and for Everton to secure all three points in this game, he will need to be in top form, driving the attack and creating opportunities whenever his team has the ball.
Iliman Ndiaye
Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye, alongside Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, has been one of Everton’s go-to players and a standout performer this season, injecting energy, flair, and unpredictability into their attack. He has so far created three big chances, and his ability to take on defenders, exploit spaces, and create chances out of nothing has made him a constant threat in the final third.
His work rate and intelligent movement off the ball have also allowed him to link up seamlessly with teammates, often being at the heart of Everton’s most dangerous plays. With four goals and one assist so far this campaign, Ndiaye will be looking to add to his goal tally against Manchester United and continue proving why he’s quickly becoming one of Everton’s most influential attackers.
