Confirmed XI: Zirkzee leads the line against Everton; Lacey on the bench; Cunha out of action

Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Monday evening. It has been a good international break for many United players, which should get them into the mix again to get a victory at the Theatre of Dreams on Monday night. Ruben Amorim’s side are unbeaten in the last five matches.

United have two 2-2 draws in their last two Premier League matches against both Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest. Everton are unbeaten in their last two Premier League matches, losing 3-0 to Spurs three matches ago. United will be up for beating Everton once again, which should not be all that tough.

It is imperative that United continues to win home matches this season as getting Old Trafford back to fortress level is much needed and something the club could build upon on the road to challenging for the Premier League title once again, which the club last won 12 years ago and have not really challenged since.

United will have newfound confidence after their five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League at this stage of the season. They will need to put the 2-2 draws against Forest and Spurs behind them and push to get three points again on Monday evening at the Theatre of Dreams. A win is a must for United and Amorim knows this.

Without Benjamin Sesko, United will need to find a new way to lead the attack but Matheus Cunha has played in this role for more than a few matches now, and done well so this can continue. United will need to make their mark against Everton and drive them to submission, which United are more than capable of this season.

United should be seeking to raise their goal difference in the next few matches, as that could be a big difference later in the season. For years now United have not scored the goals that they should have been scoring and it has contributed to the poor form the club has been in before Amorim too the job.

I support Manchester United, the greatest English football team to have ever existed. Bruno Fernandes is the latest in a long line of players with great ability to play for the club. I idolised Bryan Robson, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Eric Cantona growing up.
