Following back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, Manchester United are all set to bounce back when they host Everton FC tomorrow at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have been going through a lot of ups and downs since the beginning of the season.
Man United suffered a lot at the beginning due to the injuries of several key players. However, the Red Devils did a brilliant job in February when some of them returned to the team after recovering from injuries. Additionally, Rasmus Hojlund started showing his capability in February, scoring five goals in four matches. As a result, he has won the Premier League Player of the Month for February.
Unfortunately, Hojlund got a knock and has been missing for two games, in which Manchester United lost back-to-back. However, the Red Devils are more than desperate to get back on the winning track when they welcome the Toffees tomorrow.
