Manchester United will travel to face Everton on Sunday in a historically significant Premier League match. Bruno Fernandes is poised to surpass David Beckham and Ryan Giggs as United’s all-time leading goal contributor against Everton, while Michael Carrick is aiming to join an exclusive group of Premier League managers.
The two sides have met a total of 217 times, with Manchester United winning 97 matches, drawing 48, and Everton winning 72. United enters the match with a strong recent record against Everton, having won six of their last eight Premier League games against them, including five clean sheets. They defeated David Moyes’ side 1-0 in their last visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Benjamin Sesko scoring the decisive goal. Everton has only won three of their last 22 games against Manchester United.
This match marks Michael Carrick’s 20th game in his second spell as head coach, during which he has accumulated 42 points. Only five managers have earned 45 or more points in their first 20 Premier League games: Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, John Gregory, Arne Slot, and Carlo Ancelotti.
Bruno Fernandes has been in exceptional form, recently scoring a hat-trick with an assist against Ipswich Town. He currently has six goals and five assists against Everton in 13 matches, equaling the Premier League record held by David Beckham and Ryan Giggs. A goal or assist on Sunday would give Fernandes sole possession of the record for most goal contributions against Everton while playing for Manchester United.
