Ruben Amorim celebrated his first Premier League triumph as Manchester United's manager with a 4-0 win against Everton. Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each scored twice, maintaining Amorim's unbeaten streak at Old Trafford. Rashford, who also scored in Amorim's debut match last weekend, netted the opener after 34 minutes and added another shortly after halftime.

Zirkzee mirrored Rashford's performance by scoring two goals, marking his first since the season's opening day. This victory propelled United to ninth place with 19 points, while Everton stayed in 15th, just two points clear of relegation. The win also marked a significant milestone for Amorim as he became the first United manager to lead by two or more goals at halftime in his Premier League home debut.

Rashford's brace on Sunday elevated him to an elite group of six Red Devils players who have scored 50 Premier League goals at Old Trafford. His contribution under Amorim now totals three goals. Meanwhile, Everton's struggles continued as they failed to score for the fourth consecutive match, making it their seventh goalless game this season—the highest in the league.

Amorim had already secured his first victory as United head coach earlier in the week and followed it up with this commanding performance. The result pushed the team into the top half of the table. Everton's inability to find the net has been a persistent issue this season, contributing significantly to their precarious position near the relegation zone.

The match highlighted both teams' contrasting fortunes. While United celebrated a successful start under new management, Everton faced ongoing challenges in front of goal. As the season progresses, both teams will aim to build on their current form—United seeking consistency and Everton striving for improvement.
