MATCH PREVIEW


Everton manager Roberto Martinez is a keen
admirer of Wayne Rooney but hopes he falls short in
his bid to be fit for Manchester United's visit on
Saturday.

Rooney missed England's final two UEFA Euro 2016
qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania after
receiving a knock to the ankle in United's 3-0
Barclays Premier League defeat to Arsenal at the
start of the month.

The United and England captain remains doubtful for
this weekend's trip to his former club as United
seek to arrest a poor run of form at Everton.

Everton have won the last three meetings between
the sides at Goodison Park without conceding a
goal and Martinez's hopes of maintaining that
record have been bolstered by the likely return of
defender John Stones.

No new injuries have surfaced for Martinez
following the international break, although Leighton
Baines remains around two weeks away following
an ankle problem.

When asked about Rooney's return of one BPL goal
this season, Martinez told reporters: "His
contribution is a bit more than scoring goals.

"If you want my thoughts, I would prefer it if Wayne
Rooney doesn't play. From an opposition point of
view, I think Manchester United are a better team
when Wayne Rooney plays.

"He brings a lot more to his performance that just
hitting the back of the net."
Louis van Gaal's United went into the international
break off the back of the loss at Emirates Stadium,
as Arsenal scored all three goals inside the opening
20 minutes.

Morgan Schneiderlin will hope to regain a starting
place in midfield, with Bastian Schweinsteiger
having hurt his thigh while away with Germany.

United were beaten 3-0 at Goodison Park in April,
but Martinez is not paying much attention to
previous meetings.

"I think records and previous results mean very
little - what's important is that we respect
immensely this Manchester United side," he added.
"A couple of weeks ago when they went top of the
league, that was a real statement of intent.

"Manchester United have a settled side now and
have become really strong in what they do."

Manure fc

What is man utd?

Hmmm...... What a difficult match it will be for both teams as both teams seems to be in form even though United were blewn away by Arsenal last time out. Most of Everton's players seems to be on form, and also, Goodison park is now proving to be a fortress for Man united.






Verdict; Expect a high tempo game from boths side gunning for the win. 1-1.

GGMU... We can do it. Red Devils all the way!

OZAOEKPE:
What is man utd?

20 times Barclay' premier League winners. If that's OK with you. Thanks

If I were Van Gaal, I will drop Rooney for this game in favour of Ander Herrera.

That will send a clear message to him that his performances have been underwhelming lately.

He should be made to understand that no 10 position of Man Utd is not his divine right to hold down.

Glory Glory Manchester United.

Manchester United 2nd biggest test yet!! We'll see aw they cope with this one....One thing is for sure...it won't be an easy ride for both sides!!
My prediction, 2-1 in favour of Everton

I foresee Everton beating Man City to kantata...
