United introduced Scott McTominay and Ashley Young in place of Fred and Phil Jones respectively, but conceded two more goals in the second half. Young’s arrival meant that they made more overlaps through the right flank, but those were not enough to trouble Everton. Pogba also started playing in a more attacking role, and managed to create some moves for the Red Devils.

In fact, Everton got their 3rd goal in the 56th minute, as Lucas Digne scored with a scorching 25-yard shot. Some minutes later, Sigurdsson played a wonderful through ball to the veteran Theo Walcott, who had no problem in beating De Gea and notching up the 121st goal of his club career.

United also introduced young Andreas Pereira in place of Rashford, but a goal eluded them. Rashford, Martial and Lukaku took attempts at the goal, but they were all off target, and did not trouble Jordan Pickford, the Everton goalie. In the end, United finished with no shot on target.
