Man United’s striker Joshua Zirkzee names ONE United’s star who did everything for him to score.
Everton started strongly, dominating the first 30 minutes, but their efforts were undone by poor decision-making in the final third. Misplaced passes gave Manchester United the opening they needed, and they capitalized brilliantly, securing a two-goal advantage before halftime.
Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a goal that showcased meticulous preparation and teamwork, straight from the training ground. Shortly before the interval, Joshua Zirkzee ended a frustrating 17-game scoring drought by doubling United’s lead with a clinical finish.
The second half saw United’s dominance continue, as both Rashford and Zirkzee added another goal to their tally, sealing a commanding victory. Despite Everton’s early control, United’s performance grew in confidence as the match progressed. Rashford and Zirkzee were outstanding, but Amad Diallo also shone with a remarkable display. Diallo provided two crucial assists, demonstrating his creativity and vision, while excelling defensively by winning 12 duels and completing all his tackles and dribbles.
After the match, Diallo expressed his gratitude to supporters on Instagram, writing, “We keep going. Thanks fans for the support.” His post drew praise, with Kobbie Mainoo reacting with a fire emoji and Zirkzee commenting, “Che giocatore fra” (“What a player, bro”).
Under manager Ruben Amorim, Diallo has become a pivotal figure for United, contributing significantly in recent games. His assist against Ipswich Town and his role in two goals against Everton highlight his growing influence in the right wing-back position. Late in the game, Diallo nearly earned a penalty, further showcasing his attacking threat.
United will next face Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday, where Diallo is expected to encounter a tougher test. Likely matched up against either Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard, who combine effectively with Riccardo Calafiori on Arsenal’s left flank, Diallo will need to refine his positioning and reduce turnovers after losing possession 11 times against Everton.
