Summary
Once again, it wasn't pretty, but Manchester United got the job done. two-nil at home with Alejandro Garnacho winning two first-half penalties, scored by different players.
The same questions remain, though. Casemiro's wasteful performance with the ball was the latest worrying midfield display and a huge performance was required by both centre halves, especially this season's unexpected hero Jonny Evans.
One person who didn't enjoy Saturday's game is Evertonian Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester. He joins us to discuss his role on a new task force of "decision makers" aiming to get the ball rolling on the redevelopment of Old Trafford and the surrounding area.

| 1:00.4 | Wasn't the best, but wins a win. Win's a win. Three points, clean sheet. Rare to beat a team by more than one goal. I was pretty alarmed at times, to be honest. The first five minutes were |
| 1:05.6 | all Everton. Andrea Anana was one of the busiest players on the pitch. And we keep seeing these repeat patterns where the opposing team are cutting through. |
| 1:13.8 | Casimir, I don't think, had a decent game for Manchester United. |

| 1:32.2 | and Garnacho won a couple of penalties. |
| 1:34.6 | Both put away pretty comfortably in front of the Stretford end. |
| 1:37.3 | I think it was a big moment for Marcus Rashford when he scored. |
