Manchester United take on Everton in what is another tough game for the Red Devils.

Ruben Amorim’s side have won just two of their last nine games in the Premier League. Their latest defeat came at the hands of T🔯ottenham Hotspur, and that pushed them down to 15th in the♌ table.

Almost every game in the Premier League feels difficult right now, but there are very few fixtures that are more daunting than a trip to Goodison Park to face Everton.

That is the challeng🔥e in front of Amorim and his men now.

Paul Merson predicts Everton vs Manchester United result

Everton have looked like a completely different side under David Moyes.

The Scot returned to t💖he club and replaced Sean Dyche in January, and the Toffees have won four and lost one of t♑heir five games since.

The results under Moyes have been so good that Everton have even leapfrogged Manchester United in the Premier League table.

That adds more spice to the clash at Goodison Park on Saturday, and Paul Merson has revealed his prediction for the game.

The pundit branded Amorim’s stubbornness to change his system as ‘insanity’ and hailed Moyes for being a lot more ♏adaptꦑable.

He wrote on : “If you look at both 𒈔Moyes and Ruben Amorim, there’s a lesson here. Moyes is an adaptable manager in the sense that if he were at West Ham with better players, he🀅 would adopt a different style of play.

“Bu🌠t Amorim isn’t like that. The Portuguese will keep playing the same way even if he doesnಞ’t have the right players for his system!

“I honestly don’t know what Amorim is trying to do. It’s insanity because it’s not working at all. Manchester♈ U🌟nited have been all over the place under him and need to come back to a 4-3-3 and try to become solid.

🔯“I’d be surprised if 🐼Manchester United win this game. It may even be a draw, but never a win for the visitors in my opinion.”

Merson’s prediction: Everton 2-1 Manch♋ester United

Manchester United’s last five results at Goodison Park

Goodison Park is always a tough place to go to, 🔯and the stadium has been rocking since Moyes’ 🐓return.

Even Premier League leaders Liverpool struggled at Everton and so🐽me even feel that they were lucky to come out of that game with a point.

United now 🌌have to do a joඣb at Goodison, and their record there is really good.

As the table shows abov🎶e, United h💧ave won four of their last five games against Everton at Goodison Park, which is a stunning record.

Fans of the Old Trafford club would love to see their side pick up another three points there, but it♍ will be an extremely difficult task based on current form.

However, if Amorim does manage to get a win,🎶 it could give United the lift they need ♏to turn their season around.
