Manchester United return to Old Trafford after a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Everton. Manager Ruben Amorim voiced deep concern over the team’s dismal home form.
He stressed that their performance on their own turf must improve quickly.
Everton struck early when Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure exploited United’s shaky defense. Their two goals in just 33 minutes left the home side reeling. United looked vulnerable as the visitors pushed their advantage.
Bruno Fernandes ignited hope with a stunning low free-kick that rattled Jordan Pickford. His brilliant strike gave United their first shot on target and lifted the mood in the stadium. The energy shifted as fans sensed a comeback.
Soon after, Manuel Ugarte capitalized on a set-piece error. He controlled the ball perfectly and fired in his first goal for the club. His goal arrived at a crucial moment in the game.
The match also featured dramatic VAR controversy. Ashley Young went down after pulls from Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire. Referee Andy Madley quickly overruled his decision, sparing United further embarrassment.

Amorim did not shy away from criticism during his post-match interview. He praised Everton’s fans and acknowledged David Moyes’ success there. However, he admitted that Old Trafford has become a fortress of pressure for his own players.
Under his guidance, United have secured only two league wins at home—against Everton and Southampton. The club now faces Ipswich on Wednesday night, an FA Cup clash with Fulham, a trip to Real Sociedad, and upcoming battles against Arsenal and in the Europa League.
Bruno Fernandes summed up the urgency with clear words. “Every point now is massive for us,” he stated, as the team lingers in 15th place. Manchester United must dominate at home or risk a season that could mark one of their worst in decades.
