Is a loosing game for them,mark my words’: Rio Ferdinand predict final scoreline of Manchester United vs Everton tomorrow
Manchester United are being tipped to lose to Everton this weekend on Sky Sports Super Sunday.
It is a fresh start for Manchester United after the final international break of 2023. But the club return in testing circumstances.
United face an Everton side reeling from a 10 point deduction which has placed them in the relegation zone, leaving their fanbase furious.
Erik ten Hag‘s side have already earned an unwelcome reputation for folding in tough away games, and a poor result is being tipped this weekend.
Manchester United at Everton
Former Premier League midfielder Paul Merson has told SportsKeeda he expects Manchester United to wilt under pressure this weekend.
He says he is forecasting a 2-1 win for Everton, commenting: “The atmosphere at Goodison Park will be mindblowing this Sunday. After what happened with Everton’s point deduction, the fans are going to be up for this one.
“I don’t see Everton losing this game. It’s us against the world as far as Sean Dyche’s men are concerned and Goodison Park will be rocking.
“Manchester United will be up against a team determined to prove everyone wrong. I’d actually be shocked if Everton got beaten in this one. Everton players work hard for each other and that is something we can’t really say about the Red Devils at this point in time.”
Manchester United need to find an edge
Everton have a ready-made motivation to go the extra-mile in this game, and United fans have been worried about this fixture ever since the Toffees’ points deduction was announced this weekend.
Manchester United need to find their own edge, a reason to fight for every ball, and match Everton stride for stride in terms of effort.
Everton have actually been in good form, and while United won at Goodison last season, we have seen the Red Devils slip to defeats in the past at the stadium. It certainly won’t be easy.
Perhaps that’s what United need, to listen to the doubters like Merson who believe they will fold under the pressure. Erik ten Hag’s side can find their motivation in trying to prove predictions like these wrong, and show they can win away from home. It would be particularly useful, ahead of a tricky trip to Galatasaray in midweek.
