Harry Maguire has suffered a blow to the nose after a collision with Everton's Thierno Barry in the opening minutes of today's clash.
Manchester United are looking to make it back-to-back Premier League wins in this afternoon's outing at the Hill ****** inson Stadium.
There was an early scare for Maguire, who spent several minutes receiving treatment for a nose injury.
Manchester Evening News journalist Tyrone Marshall said on X/Twitter: "[Maguire] doesn't look in a good way, seemed to take a heavy fall after an aerial challenge with Barry. [Leny] Yoro out to warm-up."
Although he had to leave the field momentarily, Michael Carrick will be relieved at the fact that the centre-half has been cleared to continue.

Everton host Manchester United on Sunday hoping to put a difficult end to the transfer window behind them and continue their unbeaten start to the season.
The Toffees saw a deadline-day deal for USMNT star Folarin Balogun collapse, leaving them with Thierno Barry as their only recognised centre-forward for the coming weeks. The nature of the club's fraught transfer window has led to increased frustration among supporters.
United had a far quieter deadline day as they opted against a last-minute signing, yet there are doubts too about the Red Devils' strength in depth. Last weekend's 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town got them up and running in the Premier League, but they will need to build on that result if they are to prove that their relatively frugal summer was not a mistake.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.

Everton have been presented with a surprise market opportunity after being offered the chance to sign Anthony Martial, according to talkSPORT. The former Manchester United forward is available as a free agent and would consider a return to the Premier League, a development that arrives at a time when David Moyes is urgently seeking attacking reinforcements.
The timing is obvious. Everton are short in the striking department after a move for Folarin Balogun collapsed late on Deadline Day. As the report states, the club are "desperate for a striker" and that need has only sharpened after the sale of Beto, leaving "just Thierno Barry up front". In that context, it is understandable why Martial's name has surfaced, even if the profile comes with major questions.

Martial, now 30, has been without a club since his spell in Mexico with Monterrey ended after only 20 games earlier this year. He remains a recognisable name in Premier League circles, having scored 63 goals and produced 33 ****** ists across 209 matches for Manchester United. Yet the broader picture is harder to ignore. His post-Old Trafford career has offered little evidence of a sustained revival.
At AEK Athens, he managed nine goals and two ****** ists in 24 appearances. His time at Monterrey was more troubling, where he "scored just once in 20 games", and the source notes he has netted only 10 goals since leaving English football in 2024. Injuries have also continued to interrupt him, with a "nasty dislocated shoulder" cutting short his time in Mexico.

Everton's £40m deal with Monaco for Folarin Balogun collapsed after the transfer window shut after the United States striker walked away from the move at the 11th hour.
The Premier League side had reached an agreement to sign the 25-year-old but the forward's medical threw up an issue and Everton looked to renegotiate the agreement.
However, Balogun then decided that he did not want to join Everton after all, leaving David Moyes with only one senior striker after Beto was sold to Fiorentina earlier on deadline day.
The Toffees have resigned Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City after selling Iliman Ndiaye to the FA Cup winners for £60m.
Everton explored a late move for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee but their offer of a season-long loan was rejected, leaving Thierno Barry as Everton's only striker.

Everton started their cup play against Preston North End after the 40 mile drive down the M58 and up the M6. David Moyes ended his playing career at Preston and also started his managerial career before Everton came looking for someone to save them from the drop in 2002. A lot has happened since then but what has not changed is the fact that neither team have won silverware since then and today was another step in that journey. On a purely selfish note, I am heading home to Liverpool in September and would love to see a round three match with the Mighty Blues playing under the lights!
David Moyes went with a strong side to take on Preston. Jarrad Branthwaite and Hayden Hackney were given the night off with Michael Keane and James Garner taking their places. A big surprise to see O'Brien on the bench. Tyler Dibling was given another chance to shine on the right wing with Ndiaye moving to his favoured left.
Everton advanced to the third round of the Carabao Cup following a dominant victory over Preston North End, highlighted by a clinical hat-trick from Thierno Barry. After a closely contested first half, Everton pushed forward and eventually forced Preston into submission.
The match began with a warm reception for former manager David Moyes, which set a lively atmosphere that energized the travelling Evertonians. While Preston looked to sit back in a resilient low block and strike on the counter-attack through Delano Burgzorg and Adam Armstrong, Everton safely neutralized those early threats. The Toffees dictated the tempo through key involvements from Iliman Ndiaye, Tyler Dibling, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, despite initially struggling to breach Preston's crowded defensive line.
The deadlock was finally broken when Dewsbury-Hall lobbed a precise ball over the top to Vitaliy Mykolenko, who slid a low cross into the middle for Thierno Barry to tap past goalkeeper Nichols. The Evertonians were in full voice. "Oh, Tierno Barry, oh, Tierno Barry!"

There were fewer than 15 minutes remaining in Everton's Premier League opening-game win over Crystal Palace when supporters had one final reason to rise to their feet.
The stadium announcer at Hill ***** inson Stadium had just revealed that match-winner Thierno Barry would be leaving the field to be replaced by Beto.
As he made his way off the pitch, the 23-year-old Frenchman took a moment to soak up the acclaim from the blue half of Merseyside after delivering a performance of huge significance.
When he connected with Iliman Ndiaye's cross early in the second half to double Everton's lead - and all but end any hope of a Palace comeback - Barry was all smiles as he celebrated to cheers from the home support.
It was quite the contrast to the feeling towards him at the end of last year, when he endured a 14-game goal drought after arriving from Villarreal for £27m.

Everton continue talks with Tottenham over a possible Richarlison return, according to a report from Sébastien Vidal. Regular contact has continued between the clubs as the 29-year-old Brazilian considers a return to Goodison Park. Tottenham have no active push to sell him, yet Spurs remain open to a deal because his contract runs until 2027. Everton could wait for Beto or Thierno Barry to leave before moving faster. The report places those exits at the centre of the timing, with the Toffees needing room before accelerating.
Vidal's update points to a live discussion rather than an agreed transfer. Richarlison's willingness gives Everton encouragement, while Tottenham's stance keeps the door open without forcing negotiations. Spurs can still retain the forward, and that leverage is important with the window approaching its final stretch. For Everton, the sequence looks clear: sort an attacking departure first, then decide whether a reunion merits a formal push.

Richarlison gives Everton a reason to spend. He earned 54 Brazil caps and scored 20 goals, while his 2025/26 Tottenham season brought 11 Premier League goals and four ***** ists from 32 appearances, including 20 starts, across 1,975 minutes. He added one goal and one ***** ist in seven Champions League games. That record gives Moyes a proven scorer for an attack needing more effectiveness.
Context matters, though. Beto scored nine Premier League goals for Everton last season, while Thierno Barry registered eight, so the numbers don't suggest a disaster. Still, Richarlison offers qualities the current options don't replicate: he can lead the line, drift left, press hard and handle Goodison Park pressure, where he scored 53 goals across four seasons.

Everton are interested in signing Chelsea striker Liam Delap this summer, according to talkSPORT. Everton manager David Moyes wanted to bring the Toffees target to the Hill ****** inson Stadium last summer, holding face-to-face talks with him. However, the 23-year-old opted to join Chelsea after leaving Ipswich Town. Delap scored just one goal in 28 Premier League games last term, and another goal in 13 other appearances. Chelsea are ready to cut their losses and are closing in on a move for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Danny Welbeck.
Delap is set to be available for a transfer, and Everton are monitoring his situation. Moyes will be confident of getting the best out of the Chelsea flop given his track record with youngsters. The Englishman bagged 12 goals in 37 Premier League games for Ipswich in 2024-25 and could prove to be a quality finisher elsewhere. Everton want attacking reinforcements and they could look to go for Delap in the coming weeks. Both Thierno Barry and Beto have been linked with summer exits.
Jack Grealish has returned to Manchester City after his loan spell, and while the Toffees are open to another loan deal, City prefer a permanent sale. Senegalese attacker Iliman Ndiaye has suitors in the Saudi Pro League, and Everton will need more options in attack even if they hold on to him.

Yakubu Ayegbeni has outlined the areas that Thierno Barry and Beto must improve to succeed at Everton.
The centre-forward position was a topic of debate throughout last season, with neither option convincing under David Moyes.
Barry arrived from Villarreal for a £27m fee as part of last summer’s recruitment drive, and ended his debut campaign with eight Premier League goals.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a potential exit, with RB Leipzig reportedly keen on a deal.

Paul Joyce, football journalist for The Times, has reported that RB Leipzig have contacted Everton to enquire about Thierno Barry and his availability for a move to the continent.
Barry has rarely mpressed in his short time with Everton, although he does have 8 goals to his name — and incrediblyy he played in asll 38 of Everton's Premier League games, starting 21.
But he will be most remembered for a spectacular bust-up of his own creation when he gave tickets in the Everton section to his **** nal friends.
Sky Sports News understands Everton are keen to upgrade their forward department, and have explored a loan deal for out-of-favour Liam Delap from Chelsea.

RB Leipzig are in contact with Everton over a summer transfer deal for Thierno Barry, according to The Times. Barry joined the Hill ******* inson Stadium club last summer, featuring in every Premier League game for Everton last season and weighing in with eight goals. The 23-year-old is a key player under Toffees manager David Moyes, but it remains to be seen whether an exit could be on the cards in the coming weeks.
Leipzig qualified for next season’s Champions League and have identified the Everton striker as a target. They operate a data-driven recruitment model and will now hope European football would lure the Frenchman away from Merseyside. Barry joined the Blues for an initial £27 million and offering a similar fee could be enough to get him.
The Bundesliga club dream of challenging Bayern Munich for the ******* le, which could also appeal to the Everton man.
