Garnacho saved Ten Hag with 2 penalties

In a match that was suffocatingly suppressed by Everton, MU still had an unbelievable 2-0 victory. And similarly, Alejandro Garnacho also had a rather ungainly day but was still a hero with two penalties.

Grading Man Utd players: Onana cannot carry MU's defense

What future does Antony have?

MU entered the match against Everton in a rather heavy mood. The injury problem caused coach Erik ten Hag to lose key striker Rasmus Hojlund, No. 1 midfielder Lisandro Martinez and the original left-back pair Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Furthermore, the Red Devils' performance is also very disappointing as they lost their last 2 matches in the Premier League against Fulham and Man City. If he continues to lose to Everton, Ten Hag's chair will shake violently when MU's chance of winning tickets to the Champions League next season is almost zero.

With a heavy mood, it is not difficult to understand why MU started the match quite sluggishly and lacking concentration. They continuously failed to pass the ball and gave Everton a series of good opportunities. Unfortunately, the away team's strikers were too ungainly and goalkeeper Andre Onana also played excellently, so MU did not have to concede a goal.

And in such a bad match, the Red Devils were suddenly given a gift. In the 12th minute, Garnacho turned the ball and Everton defender James Tarkowski showed lack of experience when brushing the MU player's foot. Number 17 on the home team's side was just waiting to quickly fall to the field and the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot.

Captain Bruno Fernandes made no mistake, defeating Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on the penalty spot to open the score.

By the 34th minute, it was still Garnacho who dribbled the ball into Everton's penalty area and this time the one who fouled him was Ben Godfrey. Just like last time, the referee was still very close to the situation and did not need to use VAR technology to give MU the second penalty.

This time, the person who stepped up to take the 11-meter kick was Marcus Rashford. And like Bruno Fernandes, Rashford successfully completed the task of putting MU ahead 2-0.

This is a safe enough gap for MU to deploy their defensive counter-attack style of play, despite the fact that they do not know how to control and rather attack and impose.

If it weren't for two lucky penalties, MU fans might have witnessed another bad match from the home team. The Red Devils' midfield and defense played uncoordinated with countless inaccurate passes allowing Everton players to steal the ball right in their own half.

According to statistics, Everton launched 23 shots towards MU's goal in this match. The Toffees have up to 114 attack situations and 65 are dangerous attacks. For comparison, MU only had 15 shots, making 55 attacks with 26 of them being dangerous.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana had a hard day's work with 6 saves, 4 of which were in the penalty area.

Meanwhile, the attackers don't know what to do in decisive situations. The final passes and handling in front of the opponent's goal were all terrible.

Typical of the weakness in attack is Garnacho, who was awarded the best player of the match with 2 penalties. In fact, if it weren't for the two penalty situations, Garnacho would probably be considered one of the most disappointing players.

Garnacho's performance was not really good

According to statistics, Garnacho had 3 shots in this match but 2 times went out and 1 time was blocked. In addition, this player also had a series of opportunities to score but was too hesitant and indecisive, so Everton's defense neutralized them.

It's clear that Garnacho is still "too young" and hasn't perfected all his skills yet. But a player who is being "under pressure" like that is the biggest hope for MU's attack when Marcus Rashford, Antony or Bruno Fernandes are falling miserably.

In the match against Everton, Garnacho clearly did not have the best performance. But he is still the best player and hero of the Red Devils.

This shows how bad MU is and that their wins are largely due to luck, but their playing style and people are extremely unstable.

The victory over Everton could not help MU improve its position on the rankings. They are still ranked 6th, 8 points behind Aston Villa's 4th place but have played one more match. They are also 3 points behind the 5th ranked team, Tottenham, but have played 2 more matches.

If they want to qualify for the Champions League next season, the Red Devils may have to pray for luck to let their opponents stumble. Otherwise, there will be no hope for the team that has not yet found Erik ten Hag's identity.
