Manchester United is set to conclude their 2025 Premier League Summer Series campaign against Everton in Atlanta this Sunday. Having already secured victories against Bournemouth and West Ham, Erik ten Hag's squad aims to maintain a perfect record and clinch the mini-tournament trophy.
Everton, positioned at the bottom of the table with consecutive losses, is now playing for pride. While Manchester United enters the match as clear favorites, Everton is hoping to end with a strong showing.
Manchester United's performances have improved, demonstrated by their 2-1 win over West Ham and a dominant 4-1 victory against Bournemouth. A narrow defeat to Everton may still be sufficient for United to win the tournament, given their substantial goal difference.
After a 0-0 draw with Leeds, Manchester United has sharpened their approach. This upcoming match serves as crucial preparation before they face Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9, followed by a Premier League opener against Arsenal.
Everton's pre-season has been challenging, with a 1-1 draw against Accrington Stanley, a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers, and subsequent losses to Bournemouth and West Ham in the Premier League Summer Series. With only one warm-up game left against Roma, Everton is looking for a turnaround before the Premier League season begins.
Key players like Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski, and Idrissa Gueye are expected to play for Everton, while Thierno Barry is likely to start. Manchester United will potentially feature new arrival Bryan Mbeumo and the return of Matheus Cunha, while also keeping an eye on transfer activities, including interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana remain sidelined.
Considering Manchester United’s strong form and Everton’s struggles, a victory for Manchester United is anticipated.
