Rashford and Zirkzee double up as Manchester United dismantle Everton
“Ruben Amorim, Ruben Amorim, nananaanananaaa” chorused the jubilant Manchester United fans following the impressive Joshua Zirkzee’s second goal. Sung to the melody of KC and the Sunshine Band’s Give It Up, this was the last thing the new manager’s players did: fail to go after any apparent lost cause just in case gold could be mined.
It was how Zirkzee struck United’s fourth. From deep in his area the replacement Luke Shaw headed out. The ball came to Amad Diallo who rolled it along the right wing into space. Over thundered Marcus Rashford who failed to connect but, when the ball was passed back to James Tarkowski, there was Diallo harrying. Everton’s captain dawdled, the right wingback pilfered possession, sprinted ahead, squared left to United’s centre-forward, and he rammed home.
