United were still without Højlund for this match, and played a formation similar to 4231, with Varane, Evans, Dalot, Lindelof, Casemiro, Mainoo, Bee and McTominay in attacking midfield, and Garnacho and Rashford on the wings, which is similar to a strikerless formation, because Garnacho and Rashford are more on the wings. Garnacho and Rashford are more on the wings, and Rashford will move into the striker's position when attacking from a positional position.
Everton went 4411 with defenders Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Godfrey, Mykolenko, midfielders Onana, Garner, Harrison, McNeil, attacking midfielder Doucouré, striker Beto

Everton were trying to put pressure on United from the outset, and he wanted to catch points straight from the pass. Probably because United had no Maguire. the aerial excellence of the players in the penalty area would have suffered considerably. Within two minutes of the start of the game there was a dangerous scene which allowed Onana and Beto to grab the points almost simultaneously
Everton started to press high up the pitch which was effective, already forcing Casemiro to make 3 mistakes in his own backfield in the opening 5 minutes, in fact, if Everton had kept pressing, United would probably have lost points
However, United then began to make long counter-attacks. As a result, Everton began to make mistakes in their pursuit.After nine minutes, Rashford had the ball on the left and Garnacho ran over to make a superb player;ap's pile-up into the box. As a result, Tarkowski had no time to take it. He tripped Garnacho straight away and was fined 12 yards.B fee managed to get in. United took a surprising lead early in the game
Everton changed their style of play slightly after falling behind. When they pushed up the middle of the road to within 25 yards, they would shoot straight, but most had no target. This seemed to be a threat, but it was not very effective. In fact, if Everton were determined to beat the passes down the wings, the chances of United collapsing were very high, for the fact was that Everton players could still beat them in the box whenever a corner was taken
Mainoo actually played quite well, he had very flexible penetration to the front in the first half, and even directly to the side of the road into the winger to receive the ball, in fact, has been able to play to Everton's two wings of the gap, and he is in the center of the field is looking for Everton's gaps in the drilling, coupled with the ability to send the ball is not bad, can make United has been a coherent attack, although he did not score no assist, but the importance of the full high actually! He's not a defensive back, but he's not a defensive back, he'll be empty at the back, and Casemiro seems to be in poor form, which allows Everton to get a shot at United's waist, Mainoo has done a good job of linking up the offense, and he needs a good defensive back at the back in order to be able to go forward without fear.
Later in the 36th minute, United again took the ball from the right into the Everton penalty area, Garnacho took the ball and rushed in, almost going through 3 people in a row, and finally Godfrey tried to break the ball, but Garnacho was too fast to get the breakthrough position, and Godfrey's action was too slow in front of Garnacho, and it turned into a tripping penalty of 12 yards, and this time it was Rashford who took the penalty. Rashford easily punts
As a result, Garnacho made two 12-yarders on his own, which was the winning goal, and judging from the situation, it wasn't so much that Garnacho was good, but that Everton's defense was simply too slow, and every time Garnacho's defense was slow, of course, it turned into a foul, and Everton's defense had a full of serious problems to give away two scores for nothing!
With two goals in hand at the start of the second half, United began to shift possession to Everton and turn it into a complete defensive counter-attack. mainoo also dropped back to a back position and stopped thrusting himself forward, which made it more difficult for Everton to mount an attack than it had been in the first half, despite the fact that he had been holding the ball for a long time.
