Fans react as Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood grab a goal each for Man United vs Everton
Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood were on target as Manchester United crushed Everton 4-0 in their final pre-season friendly game before the Premier League opener.
Greenwood latched onto a defensive mix-up between Lucas Digne and Jordan Pickford to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead within 8 minutes. Luke Shaw then assisted Harry Maguire’s header from a corner kick eight minutes later.
The best goal of the match came just a minute before the 30th-minute mark when Bruno Fernandes slotted home a perfect free-kick from just outside the box. As expected, there were a number of substitutions made to distribute game-time amongst every player.
Andreas Pereira, Juan Mata, James Garner, and Diogo Dalot all came on to get some valuable playing time. In fact, the Portuguese full-back got himself a goal in the dying embers of the game, much to the delight of the United faithful.
Big win for MUFC vs Everton
This 4-0 win concludes a long and productive pre-season for the club. They started their list of fixtures with a win against Derby County before losing 4-2 to QPR.
A 2-2 draw vs Brentford followed before their friendly against Preston North End was abandoned. The win against the Toffees comes at a good time to lift up the spirits and the team would now be raring to go for the opener against Leeds United.
New signing Jadon Sancho was not with the squad for the friendly while Raphael Varane’s announcement is imminent. United fans can be cautiously optimistic about the season ahead.
