Everton, on the other hand, beat Pumas 1-0 in the play-off of the Florida Cup. A first-half goal from Italian attacker Moise Kean sealed the deal for Rafa Benitez's Everton.

Manchester United vs Everton Prediction
Manchester United have enjoyed an excellent transfer window so far, having confirmed deals for winger Jadon Sancho and centre-back Raphael Varane. A midfielder is expected to be signed as well, but there have been suggestions that this could depend on outgoings.
Everton, on the other hand, have a new manager at the helm in the form of Rafa Benitez. This appointment has not been received well by many Everton fans due to Benitez's Liverpool connections, and the Spaniard has a tough job in his hands of convincing the Everton faithful that he is the right man for the role.
Manchester United should win this game.
Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Everton
