‘We knew that…’: Standout Everton star provides damning post-match Man Utd verdict, Carrick will be fuming
Manchester United drew 2-2 against Everton after conceding a late equalizer in injury time. Despite leading twice, Michael Carrick's side failed to secure the win, leaving the manager frustrated ahead of their upcoming Champions League and derby fixtures.
Why it matters
The result highlights early-season inconsistency for Manchester United as they prepare for high-stakes matches in both European and domestic competitions.
Despite leading twice against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the spoils were ultimately shared between Manchester United and the hosts.
Michael Carrick's men have now lost, won and drawn in their opening three Premier League fixtures.
Indeed, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko's best efforts were not enough for the Red Devils to head back to Manchester with all three points in the bag.
United were holding on to their 2-1 lead from the 88th minute, when Benjamin Sesko headed home from a stellar Luke Shaw cross, until the sixth minute of injury time.
That was when scrappy play inside the area resulted in Ainsley Maitland-Niles capitalising on a loose ball outside the box and firing a long-range strike past Senne Lammens.
