Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee both scored two goals as Manchester United beat Everton 4-0 on Sunday. It was the first Premier League match at Old Trafford for new manager Ruben Amorim.

United's biggest league win since 2021 lifted them three spots to ninth after 13 games.

Rashford put United ahead in the 34th minute when he quickly moved in to shoot the ball into the net from Bruno Fernandes's corner with a side-footed volley that went in off the outstretched foot of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

The goal gave Amorim's side the boost they needed, and they dominated the rest of the match. Zirkzee doubled the lead in the 41st minute when Amad Diallo intercepted Jordan Pickford's goal kick and fired home Fernandes's cross from close range.

Rashford has now scored three goals in three games since Amorim took charge. He completed his brace 20 seconds after half-time when he ran on to a through ball from Amad, who caused problems for Everton all afternoon.

Amad got the ball from Tarkowski in the 64th minute and ran forward before passing to Zirkzee, who scored his second.

"He is really big in talent, but small in size," Amorim said of the five-foot-eight Diallo. "He did a great job but he also has to improve. [Interim manager] Ruud van Nistelrooy helped him a lot in his games in charge and now he's helping me."

United fans were delighted to sing Amorim's name all afternoon. The new manager, who didn't smile much during the game, has won three matches since taking charge. These include a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town and a 3-2 Europa League win over Bodo/Glimt.

"It helps to have a new face, it always helps," Amorim said. "We have to be very clear to our fans and this will always help. Rather than trying to convince the fans about this performance we have a lot to do, it will take time.

"Sometimes we are not playing well but defended everyone together. Our fans just ask for hard work and then in time they will ask for better football."

United have been on a seven-game unbeaten streak across all competitions since Erik ten Hag was sacked as manager on October 28. Struggling Everton, who haven't scored in four matches, are two points above the relegation zone in 15th place.
