Manchester United clashed heads with Everton at the Hill ****** inson Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a decent start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Bryan Mbeumo scored the opening goal for the visitors in the 47th minute before Tyrique George equalised for Everton with a great effort in the 83rd minute. Benjamin Sesko put his team 2-1 ahead just five minutes later, but Ainsley Maitland-Niles equalised for the Toffees with a great strike in injury time. The match ended with Michael Carrick's men securing a lackluster 2-2 draw away from home.
Let's take a look at how each Manchester United player fared during the clash against the Toffees.
GK: Senne Lammens – 6.5/10
He made his fair share of saves during the game, but couldn't do much about either of Everton's goals this afternoon.

Manchester United are on course for a big three-point haul away from home, as they lead Everton by a goal-to-nil at Hill ****** inson Stadium.
Deadlocked at the halftime interval in what looked to be a fixture headed to full time without a definitive result for either side, it was the Red Devils who broke the deadlock with a sensational hit by Bryan Mbeumo.
After receiving from Kobbie Mainoo, the Cameroonian darted forward and slalomed his way through the Toffees defence before curling an effort into the bottom corner beyond Jordan Pickford.
With that, Mbeumo finally bagged his first Premier League goal against Everton on his staggering 22nd attempt.
A player who has hardly struggled to find the back of the net against big opponents on his day, Mbeumo will be keen to remain a vital cog in the wheel for Michael Carrick's men as Manchesrer United hope to push for major honours this season.

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 Women will be away from home in their first three out of four WSL games for the upcoming season, and begin with an opener in the capital against newly promoted Crystal Palace on 6 September at the VBS Community Stadium.
The Blues return to Goodison Park a week later when they welcome another new outfit to the top flight in the form of Charlton Athletic, who won a promotion/relegation play-off against Leicester City, followed by two trips the road against West Ham United before the season's first Merseyside derby completes the opening month in terms of league fixtures.
The Toffees will have to wait until March 2027 to take on the Reds in the return WSL fixture, but can a campaign that will largely be spent on the road actually benefit Scott Phelan's team?
Notoriously slow starters, Everton thought that was behind them on the opening day of last season when an Ornella Vignola hattrick sealed a 4-1 win for the Toffees at Anfield, and a dream debut for the Spaniard.
What would follow was a revert to type as the Blues would fail to find a league win until December, pulling off the upset of the season by defeating Chelsea at Kingsmeadow, but even that momentous result couldn't prevent the inevitable for Brian Sorensen.

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.

#striker #loan

AS Monaco's Folarin Balogun (25) has turned down a move to Everton, scuppering his transfer to the Toffees, according to reports in The Athletic.
This is an unexpected turn of events, given that the two clubs had reached a renegotiated agreement worth around €50m, after the English club had expressed their doubts to their French counterparts about the deal going through.
Everton, who were looking to strengthen their attack following the sales of Iliman Ndiaye (26) to Manchester City and Beto (28) to Fiorentina, had earlier on Tuesday tried unsuccessfully to persuade Manchester United to grant them a loan for Joshua Zirkzee (25).
Balogun, who was at the Finch Farm training ground, has ultimately decided not to sign for the Premier League club and to return to Monaco. A major blow for both Everton and ASM, who were counting on the sale of the US international to boost their finances, after cancelling Lamine Camara's (22) transfer to Chelsea earlier in the evening.

Hull City have signed midfielder Tim Iroegbunam from Everton in a £22m deal and secured a loan agreement with option to buy for Robinio Vaz from Roma.
Iroegbunam, 23, leaves the Toffees after two years at the club for an initial £13m, although the fee could rise by a further £9m with add-ons, and has signed a five-year deal with The Tigers.
Roma have confirmed France Under-20 international Vaz, 19, has also joined the Premier League club on deadline day to further bolster their attack.
The Tigers have also secured forward Ilyas Ansah from Union Berlin and agreed a £12m deal for Genoa right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy.
English full-back Cody Drameh, who has featured in all three of Hull's games this season, is heading in the opposite direction to Norton-Cuffy - with Genoa set to pay £3.4m.

Everton have agreed a deal for Jack Grealish to return to the club on a season-long loan from Manchester City while striker Beto has joined Serie A club Fiorentina in a £14.58m move.
Grealish, 30, is set for a medical at the Toffees, with his switch expected to be completed before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline.
The England international spent a large chunk of last term at Everton under a similar arrangement, scoring twice and providing six ******* ists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.
Grealish had been linked with other teams - including his boyhood club Aston Villa - but his preference was to return to Everton, whose chief executive Angus Kinnear told BBC Radio Merseyside had "remained in contact" with the winger.
Everton have also agreed a £3m deal to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from French side Lyon.

Richarlison has opened the door for an emotional return to Everton but warned "never again will anyone decide my future for me" in a thinly-veiled dig on social media.
Spurs entered talks with Everton on Sunday night over the proposed transfer of Toffees' attacker Iliman Ndiaye and separate discussions occurred over Richarlison going back to his old club, before Manchester City struck a deal to sign the Senegalese star.
Richarlison has asked to leave Tottenham (PA Wire)
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi claimed on Saturday night that Richarlison had been left out of the matchday squad for the 2-0 home loss to Newcastle because "too many times he asked to leave", but the Brazil forward has seemingly responded in a story on his Instagram page.
"After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me," Richarlison said on Instagram.

#never

Another day, another suitor for Iliman Ndiaye. In today's version, it's Tottenham Hotspur who have reached an agreement in principle with Everton for the Senegal international for a fee of about £60 million.
In his comments yesterday after Spurs sunk to their second consecutive league defeat to start the season, Roberto De Zerbi indicated that Richarlison had asked to leave the club 'many times', and now that will be allowed with a move to the Toffees accepted for about £35 million.
There had been a hue and cry when Everton had been forced to sell Richarlison quickly to Spurs a few years ago for £60m to balance the books at the end of the financial year, when his performances saving Everton from relegation demanded more. Now it looks like the Toffees are selling another forward in his prime for lower than his market value, and to add insult to injury, are overpaying for the Brazilian to return too given how his career has tailed off with injuries and the like.
As of this afternoon the Toffees appear to still be working on a loan for Jack Grealish, close to making a move for right back Kenny Tete from Fulham, and also have an interest in USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Beto appears to be headed to Fiorentina and Adam Aznou on loan to Malaga.
This latest round of transfer rumours basically indicates that Everton are shifting into "win now" mode with adding older, Premier League-proven players. The concern will be that at the end of the year with David Moyes' contract up, the next manager could get saddled with the debt.

The possible reunion with Grealish will grab the headlines as David Moyes wants to bring the 30-year-old back to the Hill ***** inson Stadium.

Everton have called off a proposed deal to sell midfielder Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest following a backlash from the club's supporters.
Forest made a bid of £40m plus a potential sell-on clause for the England Under-19 international, who is regarded as one of the brightest prospects to emerge from Finch Farm in recent years.
The news enraged Everton supporters, who sang Armstrong's name throughout Saturday's draw at Bournemouth and said there would be a "riot" if he was sold.
The Toffees board have now unanimously decided that the 19-year-old will remain at Hill ******* inson Stadium.
'Supporters aren't always wrong' - Moyes on Everton fans' anger

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!"

Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye is reportedly an option for Tottenham Hotspur should they miss out on Cody Gakpo. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have completed the signing of Brazilian attacker Savinho from Manchester City this morning. Spurs are also closing in on his former teammate Omar Marmoush, but manager Roberto De Zerbi wants one more attacker. While Gakpo has been targeted for most of the summer, the Dutchman is also on the radar of Man City.
The Lilywhites have contingency plans in place should City move ahead of them in the pursuit of the Liverpool star. Ndiaye has emerged as an option for Tottenham, but City are also keeping an eye on the Everton star. AC Milan's Rafael Leao remains on Spurs' radar also, and other attackers on being monitored should they miss out on Gakpo.
Ndiaye has proven himself in the Premier League and he is also attracting the likes of Manchester United and Saudi Pro League clubs. Everton are desperate to hold on to him and will demand at least €80 million from suitors to sell the 26-year-old. ******* nal also have the Tottenham target on their radar, and a move to North London could be on the cards for the Senegalese international. Ndiaye has three years remaining on his current Toffees contract, and there is no exit clause in it. Everton have been looking to get the him to sign a new deal but their efforts have yielded no results. Ndiaye is insisting on an exit clause that could be triggered as early as this summer included in the new deal before reaching an agreement.

Crystal Palace travel to Everton for their first match of the campaign as new boss Pierre Sage hopes to begin his tenure with three points in their Premier League opener.
The Frenchman has seen his side endure mixed fortunes in preseason and the main talking point of today's match comes in the form of two attacking players; Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil.
Palace's former record £35m signing Johnson swapped Selhurst Park for Merseyside in the summer after just six months at the club that saw McNeil move in the other direction and both will hope to prove a point in the first game of the season.
The Toffees have won their previous two meetings against the Eagles at home 2-1.

Everton begin their 125th top flight season and the second at their new Merseyside home against last year's Europa Conference League champions Crystal Palace.
The Toffees go into the game cautiously optimistic after some bright moments in pre-season. Their remains frustration however at a failure to address key issues in the transfer marker and the uncertainty over the future of David Moyes as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract.
The late season collapse is also fresh in people's minds, with the opportunity of European football thrown away thanks to a winless seven-game run to close out the season.
New signings include last season's Championship Player of the Year Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, an energetic number eight who can hopefully add some incisiveness even from the deeper midfield position he's been deployed at so far. Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl turned their loan stints into permanent deals. Christian Norgaard looks to be a savvy signing from ****** nal to replace Idrissa Gueye, while Brennan Johnson adds pace and dynamism following his Dwight McNeil swap deal with Saturday's opponents Palace.
The yawning hole in the squad though remains right-back, a position Everton have failed to adequately address for years. That failure had hung over the Toffees' summer and the overall mood of the fans at the end of the window will like rest on whether they address it.

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 appear increasingly minded to keep Adam Aznou in David Moyes' plans for the 2026/27 season, after an encouraging summer from the young left-back. According to TeamTalk, the current picture points towards the Morocco international remaining on Merseyside rather than heading out on loan.
There is a growing sense that Aznou has used pre-season exactly as he needed to. After a difficult first year following his move from Bayern Munich for around £8million, the 20-year-old has responded with the kind of performances that force internal discussion. The key detail is clear, Everton "have not informed the Moroccan international of any plans to send him out on loan as of yet", and "as things stand, the Toffees intend to retain him as part of David Moyes' squad for 2026/27."

Aznou's debut campaign brought only one senior appearance, so this summer has carried added significance. By all accounts, he has impressed with "attacking intent and defensive solidity in pre-season", showing the balance required from a modern full-back. Those close to the situation believe Moyes sees him as "a useful option within the current group", which matters at a club trying to build depth and reliability across the back line.
There is also encouragement in the longer-term view. Everton hold "huge belief in his potential", and that belief seems to be shaping the current decision. Rather than rushing him into a temporary move elsewhere, the club look prepared to ******* s whether regular involvement can now come under Moyes directly.

Everton are reportedly mulling over a move for Genoa defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy, according to The I Paper.
While the Toffees are considering Alistair Johnston and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to sort their right-back conundrum, the Englishman is also on their list of targets.
Everton boss David Moyes will be desperate to land a new right-back following Seamus Coleman's exit. Nathan Patterson has struggled to stay fit.
The Merseyside club was forced to field Jake O'Brien at right-back last season, but he'd rather line up in his natural centre-half position, forcing them into the transfer market.
The England Under-21 international impressed in Serie A last term, bagging two goals and an **** ist in 27 appearances, helping to keep two clean sheets along the way.

Walsall have completed the signing of former Everton defender Roman Dixon on a two-year contract, with a club option of a further year.
The 21-year-old right-back was released by the Toffees at the end of last season, bringing to an end a ten-year ****** ociation with the Premier League club.
Dixon spent the second half of last season on loan at League One side Stockport County, but had previously also gained first-team exposure with Everton, for whom he made three senior appearances.
He becomes Walsall's 12th signing of what has proven to be a busy summer of business under new boss Lee Grant, who commenced his reign with an impressive 1-0 win over Championship side Bristol City in the EFL Cup at Ashton Gate on Thursday evening.
"I grew up not too far from here in Stafford/Wolverhampton so it feels like a trip down memory lane in some ways but when the gaffer rang me I was sold instantly," Dixon told the club website.

The swap deal between Everton and Crystal Palace has been completed, with Brennan Johnson heading to Merseyside and Dwight McNeil moving in the opposite direction.
Johnson has joined Everton on a four-year contract running until June 2030, becoming David Moyes' fifth summer signing. The 25-year-old Wales international arrives after a difficult spell at Palace, where he failed to score in 26 appearances following his £35m move from Tottenham in January.
Despite that disappointment, Johnson boasts plenty of pedigree. He made his name at Nottingham Forest before joining Spurs for more than £45m and scored the winning goal in the 2025 Europa League final against Manchester United.
McNeil, meanwhile, has signed a four-year deal with Palace. The 26-year-old winger leaves Everton after three seasons, having registered 15 goals and 19 ***** ists in 128 appearances for the Toffees.
The move represents a second chance at Palace for McNeil, who came close to joining the Eagles in February. A proposed loan-to-buy deal worth £20m collapsed after the paperwork was not completed in time, despite the player having already passed his medical.

#palace #appearances

Everton have confirmed the signing of Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace, in a swap deal that sees Dwight McNeil move to Selhurst Park.
Wales international Johnson has signed a four-year deal with the Toffees until 2030, and becomes the fifth summer signing for David Moyes this summer.
After completing his switch to Everton, Johnson, who will wear the No.22 shirt, told Everton TV: "I'm so excited to be here. The club speaks for itself – it's a massive club and one that when I first heard of the interest, I immediately wanted to come and be part of it.
"There were a lot of reasons why I was so keen to join – the manager, the players, the direction the team is going in. You can see this is a club that wants to go in the right direction, and I'm a player who wants to go in that direction, too, so it feels like a really good match.
"I want to come in and show what I can do. The manager spoke to me about getting back to the form that I've shown previously, and that's a massive thing for me – the fact he knows and believes in what I can do. For me, listening to him – a manager who is so experienced and someone who has been so successful – it was really nice to hear.

However, the transfer fell through despite McNeil having passed a medical because the required paperwork could not be completed in time.
It prompted his partner Megan Sharpley to accuse the Eagles of toying with his mental health via a social media post.

However, the transfer fell through as the required paperwork could not be completed in time, even though McNeil had already passed a medical.
In a social media post, his partner Megan Sharpley had been critical of Palace, writing on Instagram: "We live in a world where everyone is aware of how big a problem mental health is.

It was an afternoon when much of the focus was on the location, but it ended in celebration.
Preston North End booked their place in round two of the Carabao Cup after showing character and composure in a memorable match on Merseyside for two new signings.
A red card for Lewis Gibson midway through the first half had Paul Heckingbottom's men on the ropes but they cleared their heads and found a way to hit back.

David Moyes is at the Hill ***** inson Stadium and Goodison Park with the Toffees. Everton have made an official enquiry about Bournemouth attacker Marcus Tavernier, exploring the parameters of a potential summer move, according to Ben Jacobs.
The Toffees have opened dialogue with the player's representatives to gauge his interest in a move to Merseyside, but have yet to hold talks with Bournemouth.
Tavernier has become a key and versatile player since joining Bournemouth from Middlesbrough in 2022. Able to operate across both flanks, as an attacking midfielder, or in a box-to-box role, his tactical flexibility makes him an attractive target for Everton as they look to build squad depth ahead of next season.
Last season, Tavernier enjoyed one of his most productive Premier League campaigns, recording seven goals and four ***** ists in 34 appearances, while creating 54 chances to lead Bournemouth's playmaking metrics. His work rate, ball-carrying ability, and set-piece threat make him a crucial figure for the Cherries.
Despite Everton testing the waters with Tavernier's representatives, striking a deal with Bournemouth will be challenging. The South Coast club are under no financial pressure to sell, having tied Tavernier to a contract until June 2029. Furthermore, with European football ahead after a sixth-place finish last season, Bournemouth are unlikely to part with a key player at this stage of the window.

Everton and Crystal Palace are in talks over a potential swap deal involving Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson, according to The Times. Everton manager David Moyes is open to letting McNeil leave the Hill **** inson Stadium club after a move to Selhurst Park fell through in January. The Eagles had agreed a loan deal with a £20 million obligation to buy for the Toffees winger, but talks collapsed late in the winter transfer deadline day. Palace remain keen on McNeil, and Everton want Johnson in return.
However, a potential switch is complicated due to both club's different valuation for both wingers. The club are yet to reach an agreement and it is unknown whether one is on the cards. Everton want attacking reinforcements and Johnson is a target due to Palace's interest in McNeil. The Wales international joined the Eagles from Tottenham Hotspur in a £35m deal in January. However, he struggled to impress upon the move, failing to score in 26 appearances. Johnson was an unused substitute in their Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, but the Toffees admire what he brings to the table.

Everton have reportedly tried to pay Tottenham Hotspur £25 million to sign Liverpool target Djed Spence. The Spurs star is likely to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club this summer, and both the Toffees and Reds want him. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola want to bring a right-back that can defend to Anfield, while his Everton counterpart David Moyes is desperate for reinforcement in the position. The Toffees have offered £25m for Spence, but Tottenham want at least £35m, and Liverpool are keeping tabs on his situation.
The 25-year-old is open to joining the Reds, but nothing concrete is happening right now as Iraola has other options on his radar. Premier League legends Gary Neville and Ian Wright recently admitted that Spence was England's best defender this summer following his impressive displays at the World Cup. He is not in the plans of Lilywhites manager Roberto De Zerbi from the look of things, but he will not be short of suitors in and outside of the Premier League this summer.
Everton could do with such a right-back, but they must be willing to part with at least £35m. Spurs could demand more from suitors as Spence increased his value with his outstanding World Cup performances. The Toffees also have Celtic's Alistair Johnston and RB Leipzig's Ridle Baku as targets in the position and could be looking to sign a player for around £25m. Liverpool are always ready to splash the cash and will likely pip their city rivals to the Spurs star if it comes down to the money.
