Premier League 18/19: Everton 4-0 Manchester United - 5 talking points

#4 United players fail to turn up

Appalling performance by the United players

After a string of poor performances in a haphazard campaign, United players put in another abysmal and dejected display when a response was expected after their disappointing loss against Barcelona in midweek. However, Solskjaer’s players stooped to new lows and showed no fight and determination to get a positive result.

They weren’t cohesive in attack as well as in defence and left too much space to be exploited by the enterprising Everton forwards. United were guilty of surrendering possession cheaply and not doing enough to retrieve it. The defence too appeared nervy, disorganized and fragile when subjected to constant Everton attacks.

Makeshift right-back Victor Lindelof struggled in the first half against nimble footed Bernard and the forward forays of attacking full back Lucas Digne. United missed their own first choice left-back Luke Shaw as he missed the game due to suspension. They looked disjointed throughout the encounter and conceded a goal for the 11th game in a row, their worst run for seven years and were rightly put to the sword by Everton.
