Man Utd face Everton, Carrick nears milestone

Manchester United travel to Everton on Sunday, September 6, 2026, for a Premier League fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with manager Michael Carrick aiming to secure a second consecutive league victory. The match comes as United begin a demanding schedule of five games in two weeks, including the start of their Champions League and EFL Cup campaigns. Carrick's side enters the fixture on the back of a 5-2 win over Ipswich Town last weekend. The manager is expected to name a strong team, with the next fixture against Sabah not until Thursday. A victory would see Carrick join an elite group of managers, becoming only the sixth to reach 45 points in his first 20 Premier League matches in charge. Since his appointment in January, Carrick has accumulated 42 points from 19 top-flight fixtures, the most by any team in that period. United have a strong recent record against Everton, having won six of their last eight meetings. The Toffees have managed only three victories in their most recent 22 games against United.
