Overview
Man United had never lost to a newly promoted team right in the Premier League opening match before losing to Hull City this season. Ipswich also had a chance to create a similar scenario when playing away at Old Trafford.
Leif Davis unexpectedly put Ipswich ahead, but this goal became the catalyst for Man United to rise up. Under the guidance of Bruno Fernandes, the home team scored 6 goals in a row, including a hat-trick by the Portuguese captain, an own goal by Jacob Greaves and a beautiful goal by Bryan Mbeumo. The match ended with a total of 7 goals.
Amidst the transfer market witnessing a series of deals exceeding the 100 million pound mark, Man United's successful retention of Bruno Fernandes can be considered one of the most important decisions. The midfielder who won the PFA Player of the Year award continues to play a central role in his playing style, while helping the "Red Devils" rise to the top half of the Premier League table.
The victory over Ipswich helps Man United win 42 points since Michael Carrick took over the team, more than any other club in the same period. If he continues to maintain this record, Carrick could become the sixth coach in Premier League history to win at least 45 points after his first 20 games leading a team.
Even if Man United concedes to Everton in the upcoming match, that is not yet a sign of defeat. The last time they conceded in the first 3 matches of a Premier League season was in the 2012-2013 season.
One of the matches in that series was a 0-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. At that time, David Moyes also led the Merseyside team, before moving to Manchester a few months later to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
Moyes certainly does not want to reunite with his old team in unfavorable circumstances. In his coaching career in the Premier League, he has lost to Man United 23 times, only Harry Redknapp has more defeats against the "Red Devils" with 24 matches.
However, Everton is having a fairly positive start under Moyes. After the victory over Crystal Palace in the 1st round and the crush of Preston North End in the Carabao Cup, Everton continued to create many emotions in the draw with Bournemouth.
The Merseyside team is facing the opportunity to win two consecutive victories at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Premier League for the first time since the 2021-2022 season. This is also the first time in many years that Everton has had the opportunity to win both of their first home matches of the season in the highest league in England.
Man United has reason to be confident when returning to this stadium. The last time they were guests at Hill Dickinson in February, the "Red Devils" won 1-0. That result helped Man United repay the debt after Everton defeated them with the same score at Old Trafford.
Score prediction: Everton 2-3 Man United
The match between Everton and Man United takes place at 8:00 PM on September 6th (Vietnam time).
