THE OPPOSITION
United come up against our former boss David Moyes again, after the Scotsman’s storybook return to Everton earlier this year.
After 12 years away, Moyes headed back to Merseyside for a second spell with the Blues in January and helped prompt a huge change in fortunes that saw the club comfortably survive relegation.
The Toffees had been just a point above the drop zone at the time of the 62-year-old’s arrival but lost just four of their last 19 games and finished 13th, 23 points clear of the bottom three.
A nine-match unbeaten run that featured a 2-2 draw with United in February was key in raising the points tally and providing further optimism at an exciting time for the club, whose takeover by the American-based Friedkin Group was finalised shortly before Moyes’s appointment.
The Blues have won only one of their five pre-season fixtures so far, beating Port Vale 2-1, while losing to Blackburn and, in this competition, Bournemouth and West Ham.
