UNITED EYEING WIN AT EVERTON

Manchester United are eyeing a return to winning ways at struggling Everton in the Premier League this weekend to boost their quest for a top-four finish.

The Red Devils are one of the teams vying for a place in the top four and they received1a major setback in their quest to meet the target following the 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend. To this effect, they would be hoping to bounce back with a win against hosts Everton this weekend.

Under Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United have been inconsistent and they need to do better if they want to play Champions League football next season. Only a place in the top four will give them Champions League football.

Sam Allardyce critical of ‘inconsistent’ Paul Pogba

Former England manager Sam Allardyce has been critical of midfielder Paul Pogba after he failed to show up during Manchester United’s shock 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. The France international started the campaign with a man of the match showing versus Leicester City but he has since looked off-peak with his performance.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Allardyce was defensive of under-fire manager Jose Mourinho and suggested that United were the dominant side despite the result. However, he did not have any sympathy for Pogba, who struggled to gain control over the likes of Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier in the centre of the park.
