Ruben Amorim takes charge of Man United for the first time in the Premier League at Old Trafford when Everton are the visitors on Sunday.
Teething problems were evident in the manager’s first match in charge at Ipswich last Sunday, as players struggled to get to grips with the new 3-4-2-1 formation despite picking up a draw.
However, United will enjoy home advantage this weekend, and a much-needed victory should be on the cards.
But, Everton have been difficult to beat this season, having avoided defeat in each of their last two. The Toffees have played out successive 0-0 draws in the Premier League.
Odds
Man United will be expected to pick up a first Premier League win under Amorim this weekend, as they are priced up at -185. Everton is the outside selection on the moneyline at +520.

Man United vs. Everton Prediction
Given that these sides rank among the best defensive sides in the Premier League in terms of clean sheets, it could be easy to suggest that a low-scoring affair is likely at Old Trafford on Sunday.
However, an extra week to work on tactical set-up could be huge for Amorim. Therefore, we could see things begin to click at Old Trafford, with United edging out a narrow victory.
