Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Is that a penalty?!
Tyrique George's cross is deflected in the box and Thierno Barry seems to get to the ball before Lisandro Martinez and he hits the deck.
There's not much in that, to be honest.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Luke Shaw powers down the left and hooks a ball across the box. It's nodded back by Bryan Mbeumo for Bruno Fernandes to volley off the bar.
Such an intelligent move.

Let Dave watch and see. I'm certain there will be some fantastic goals coming.

Back to normality now for United. Harry Maguire is back and making clearances in the box as Everton press.

Bryan Mbeumo is currently filling in at right back with Diogo Dalot shifting across to cover Harry Maguire.

Harry Maguire has made quite the recovery here.
I think he'll be OK to carry on with a tissue or two stuffed up his nose.

Harry Maguire is not the type to go down easily.
Leny Yoro is warming up. That didn't look too good.
Basically, Thierno Barry back headed into his face. Blood being cleaned up around Magiuire's nose.

Harry Maguire looked very groggy.

More encouraging signs for United now. Harry Maguire is sitting up but he's got blood pouring from his nose after heading the back of Thierno Barry's head.

A head injury. They have come on very quickly. It did look innocuous.
Harry Maguire is not the type to go down easily for no reason.
He might have broken his nose.
Everton 0-0 Man Utd
Harry Maguire has come off second best in a collision with Thierno Barry and Leny Yoro is out warming up.
Maguire hasn't really moved on the ground yet.

An early concern for Man Utd here as Harry Maguire is down and in need of treatment.
On first glance, he doesn't look to be in a good way here.

Don't be saying that, Dave!

The noise here isn't as loud as normal. They had to turn up the volume of the stereo.

The Everton fans are up for this today.
Manchester United were flat at Hull two weeks ago and didn't react to the fierce start the home side made.
They cannot make the same mistake here. If they do, they are in trouble.

I thought from January onwards Manchester United were very good, they were fabulous and they delivered. I think Michael Carrick has done an amazing job.
Bruno Fernandes will always create chances. I expect them to be in the top four at the very least this season.

Steve Round
Former Arsenal assistant coach speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live
I really like [Kobbie Mainoo] as a young player. He has a lot to offer; he's good at taking the ball in tight spaces, taking it under pressure. He can break lines with a dribble, he can pass it. Physically good, he can cover ground, and he's one player who they are looking over the next few years to really establish themselves as their next prime midfielder.
He's a young player, so he's had a bit of ups and downs. He didn't get on with the last manager under their regime. but Micheal [Carrick] has come in and has been really good for him. The staff has come around him, made him feel the love again.

Everton have won just three of their last 22 Premier League matches against Manchester United (D7 L12), though one was last season when they won 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Everton (D1 L1), keeping a clean sheet in five of those wins.
Following their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on MD1, Everton will be looking to win back-to-back Premier League games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for just a second time, previously doing so in March against Burnley (2-0) and Chelsea (3-0). The Toffees last won their opening two home games of a league campaign in 2021-22.
This will be 20th Premier League game of Michael Carrick’s second tenure in charge of Manchester United, with no side winning more points (42) than the Red Devils in this period. Only five managers have won 45+ points in their first 20 games from the start of a tenure with a club: José Mourinho in his first spell with Chelsea (49), Antonio Conte with Chelsea (49), John Gregory with Aston Villa (48), Arne Slot with Liverpool (47) and Carlo Ancelotti with Chelsea (45).
Across the opening two Premier League matchdays this season, no side has had more direct attacks than Everton (6 – level with Manchester United), while only Hull City (2.3 m/s) and Liverpool (2.05 m/s) have had a higher direct speed than the Toffees (2.04 m/s) highlighting their ability to hit sides quickly in transition.
Manchester United conceded first against both Hull City on MD1 and Ipswich Town on MD2 but haven’t gone 1-0 down in each of their first three Premier League games of a season since 2012-13 (the last time they won the title), with one of those games being a 1-0 loss at Everton.
Everton manager David Moyes has lost 23 Premier League matches against Manchester United, with only Harry Redknapp ever losing more against the Red Devils in the competition (24).
Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 11 goals in 13 Premier League appearances against Everton (6 goals, 5 assists), the joint most of any Man Utd player along with David Beckham (4 goals, 7 assists) and Ryan Giggs (7 goals, 4 assists).
Excluding penalties, only Bryan Mbeumo (2.26) and Alexander Isak (2.08) have accumulated more xG this season in the Premier League than Everton’s Thierno Barry (1.93), although his 1.48 xG against Bournemouth was the most by a player without scoring since Erling Haaland in November 2025 against Newcastle (1.54).
Man Utd’s Bryan Mbeumo has made more runs in behind the oppositions defensive line than any other player across the opening two Premier League matchdays this season (39), with his 20 against Ipswich ranking first and 19 against Hull ranking joint second among all players in a single game.
