Manchester United 4-0 Everton: Amorim claims first Premier League win with rout

Ruben Amorim claimed his first Premier League win in charge of Manchester United with a 4-0 victory over Everton on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee both scored twice to ensure the Portuguese continued his unbeaten start to life at Old Trafford.

Rashford scored the first goal of the Amorim era last weekend and opened the scoring again here, netting after 34 minutes before adding his second shortly after the second half kicked off.

Zirkzee followed suit, clinically slotting his two efforts into the back of the net for his first goals since the opening day of the season.

United move up to ninth on 19 points, while Everton remain in 15th, two points above the relegation zone.

Data Debrief: Amorim off the mark

After claiming his first win as United head coach in midweek, Amorim followed it up with a comfortable victory that sent the team into the top half of the table.

In fact, Amorim is the first United manager to be 2+ goals up at half-time of his first Premier League home game.

Rashford now has three goals under the Portuguese. By scoring twice on Sunday, he is now just the sixth Red Devils player to net 50 Premier League goals at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Everton are now without a goal in each of their last four matches. This is the seventh game in which they have failed to score this campaign, the most of any team in the competition.
