Manchester United faced Everton at Goodison Park today, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Everton took an early lead with goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure in the first half. However, United mounted a comeback in the second half, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a free-kick in the 72nd minute and Manuel Ugarte equalizing in the 80th minute.

A late penalty awarded to Everton was overturned after a VAR review, ensuring the match ended in a draw.

In the post-match press conference, United manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged Everton’s strong performance under David Moyes, noting that Moyes has won four out of six league games since taking over, surpassing United’s record of four wins in 14 league games. Amorim also highlighted improvements in training and expressed optimism for better performances once key players like Christian Eriksen and Manuel Ugarte return from injury.

Off the pitch, Manchester United is conducting an internal investigation led by chief executive Omar Berrada to address leaks within the club. Staff found guilty of breaching confidentiality may face severe consequences.

Additionally, the club plans further job cuts to improve finances, with more details expected in an upcoming staff meeting. Financial challenges continue to affect the club, with recent reports highlighting a loss of £27.7 million for the last quarter of 2024 and a 42% drop in broadcast revenue due to absence from the Champions League.

The Manchester United Supporters Trust has criticized the club’s financial mismanagement, particularly the expensive sackings of manager Erik ten Hag and sporting director Dan Ashworth, which totaled £14.5 million in payouts. Looking ahead, Manchester United will host Ipswich Town on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at 11:30 AM PST. Fans will be eager to see how the team responds following recent performances.
