Live updates from the clash between Man Utd and Everton.
“Fighting is not a bad thing. Fighting does not mean they don’t like each other. Fighting is you lose the ball and I will fight you because we will suffer a goal.
“That was my feeling when I watched. I don’t agree with that sending off. We can fight with team-mates. I know it’s a violent conduct as the referee explained.
“I hope my players when they lose the ball, they fight each other. They cannot get sent off but that is a good feeling, not a bad feeling.”
“I feel afraid of returning to the feeling of last season. That is my biggest concern.
“We need to work together. The players are trying but we need to be better.”
“When we see the results of the weekend, we should get on the pitch with a different excitement, that is my feeling.
“Old Trafford was there to say we’re ready to give you a big step up and I felt that we were not ready.
“Again, this five weeks everyone is praising our evolution. I’m always saying the same things. We are not even near where we’re supposed to be at this club.”
“I think we didn’t understand the moments of the game during the 90 minutes and that is my fault, I need to be better to explain to the players how to play in every situation of the game.”
An honest reaction from Ruben Amorim after today’s dismal defeat.
“I think we deserved to lose. We didn’t play well. We didn’t play with the right intensity and that’s it.
“We talked about this a lot of times. I know which point we are at, at the moment. I have that feeling during this run.
“We are not there. Not even near the point that we should be to fight for the best positions in the league. We have a lot to do and we need to be perfect to win games. We were not perfect today.”
Moyes on Gueye’s red card: “I thought the referee could have taken a bit longer to think about it.
“I quite like my players fighting with each other and getting annoyed over a bad ball.”
He adds that it is necessary to build a “winning team”.
David Moyes speaking to Sky Sports: “To do it with ten men was incredible from the players.”
Everton’s match-winner Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall says Idrissa Gueye’s red card for shoving Michael Keane was a “moment of madness” but revealed the midfielder has apologised to his team-mates after the game.
Boos ring out around Old Trafford as the full-time whistle goes. The most unlikely victory for Everton after the most bizarre red card put them at such a huge disadvantage. Gueye saw red for slapping his own teammate but somehow that served to galvanise the Toffees who battled to secure a significant victory.
For United the result represents a wasted opportunity and utter disappointment. Missing players or not, there is no excuse for that performance from the Reds. It was a display which bore worrying resemblance to so many of their defeats under Amorim last season.
Just seconds remain and Everton are keeping possession.
It will surely be over soon.
Lammens does go up for this corner.
United are desperate now.
De Ligt scored an injury time equaliser for United at Spurs last time out.
Handed the opportunity to repeat his heroics, he fails and sends a tame effort towards Pickford.
United have a corner and the goalkeeper looks to go up for it.
However, Lammens is instructed to stay back.
Four minutes of additional time will be played.
News that is not received well by the home crowd.
Another header from Zirkzee at goal and he still cannot find the net.
This one is aimed centrally and Pickford stretches to tip it over the crossbar.
Moyes makes his final changes, with Alcaraz and McNeil sent on.
Dewsbury-Hall and Grealish are withdrawn after both put in a tenacious performance.
Mainoo crosses to Zirkzee who heads wide.
Another chance goes begging for the home side, who are really starting to run out of time now.
Amad is penalised for a foul throw, as United’s misfortune borders on becoming comical.
Silly mistakes have been made all over the pitch all night by the hosts who have been nowhere near their levels.
Moyes makes a double substitution as he watches his team battle to maintain their lead.
Iroegbunam and Beto replace Ndiaye and Barry for the final ten minutes.
Another shooting opportunity for United’s captain is wasted.
He fires wide following a United corner.
Pickford produces an absolutely top drawer save to protect his clean sheet.
Zirkzee’s header is going in at the far post but the England goalkeeper somehow keeps it out with his finger tips.
Frustration is really starting to grow around Old Trafford as Grealish wins a couple of fouls in quick succession.
The fouls, from both Zirkzee and Amad, were needless and continue to interrupt United’s momentum.
Another opportunity for United and another shot fired off target.
It is cutback to Fernandes on the edge of the six-yard box but United’s skipper toe pokes it over the crossbar.
Everton get forward for the first time in a long time and find themselves in dangerous positions on two different occasions.
However, both Grealish and Ndiaye seem more concerned with keeping possession than trying to add to their lead. The Toffees have not taken a single shot since their goal.
Mbeumo tests Pickford with a powerful striker, which the Englishman keeps out at full stretch.
It then comes to Mount who curls an effort just wide of the post. United are starting to get closer.
