In contrast, former United boss Moyes has revitalised Everton since replacing Sean Dyche in mid-January, earning 13 points from a possible 18.

“Confidence,” he noted according to a video by Premier League on their website.
“The way they play, they believe it a lot. They are winning games; they are being competitive. So it’s an amazing job by David Moyes to recover the team.”

He emphasised that small victories can build momentum and confidence among players: “Small things like winning one game, winning two games—that belief, the pressure is not the same.”
Manchester United will be boosted by the return of Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte, and Leny Yoro for this crucial match against an Everton side that has shown significant improvement under Moyes’ leadership.
