Manchester United against Everton: Lignales, States and Apprentice

“It was a good match. We played with intensity. We were aggressive and it is something that we have to improve compared to last season,” said Amorim after the match.

“It was just a pre-season match, but the feeling with the same players, even a pre-season match, if you watch the same players playing now, it looks like a different team and it’s a good sign.”

Amorim was also satisfied with cohesion in the team after a summer of change in Old Trafford. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha both arrived while Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony seem to be unloaded before the end of the transfer window.

Marcus Rashford has obtained a loan move to Barcelona while speculation has increased in recent days that United has been in talks with RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko. It has also been reported that striker Aston Villa and England Ollie Watkins is a potential target.

Amorim said: “More than the results is the way they [the team] play. They play better too because they connect better with each other, not only in the field, but out of the field.

“They are stronger. They are faster right now. Of course, this is the pre-season, but you can see that the intensity is completely different. I can see that the data from the minutes is completely different.

“We are improving, but again, it’s a pre-season match. The pressure will be so different during the season, but it is important for them to understand that the same players can play a different game.”

Everton, meanwhile, will aim to win his first pre-season victory after the recent defeats against Bournemouth and the former manager of Manager David Moyes, West Ham.

The contrast of the results between the Toffees and the Red Devils on the ground also seems to be reflected in their respective activity.

While United has flashed, Moyes, who only lasted 12 months as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor to Old Trafford in 2013, admitted this week that Everton “lacked” time to have the impact they hoped for the transfer market.

Despite new ambitious owners and a move in a new stadium, there have been relatively few team additions to this summer. The club made the move of Carlos Alcaraz loan permanently, as well as the young left back Adam Aznou du Bayern Munich and the striker Thierno Barry from Villarreal in possible replacement of Dominic Calvert-Lewin Libéré.

However, the offer of 27 million pounds of the club would have rejected for the Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibling, is the last of a number of losses for the planned reconstruction of Moyes.

“The only thing I will do is that I will say to fans directly, and I say it directly at the moment, we have a little difficulty for walking it quickly,” added the boss of Toffees.

The Sunday’s match could see Amorim a long -awaited one in Mbeumo.

The arrival of 71 million Brentford sterling pounds did not appear against West Ham United and Bournemouth, but could be fixed for its devil’s red bow against Everton.

Cunha, the other signature of United’s marquee so far this summer, could also return after being rested against the team of Andoni Iraola.

Hojlund, who insisted that he was “more than ready” to fight for his place after a disappointing return last season, could again lead the line after a strong performance the last time.

Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez remain away with an injury.

For Everton, Jarrad Branthwaite continues to be the main absent, the central defender missing the tour by an injury.

Moyes will probably make changes to the team that started the confrontation with West Ham, with Barry a possible option at the top, having been used on the bench against hammers.
