Zirkzee starts for Man Utd in shock call

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made a significant tactical decision, handing Joshua Zirkzee his first start of the season against Everton. This unexpected move sees the young striker, who has accumulated only 90 minutes across all competitions this season, given a pivotal role.

The surprising inclusion of Zirkzee is partly due to the absence of striker Benjamin Sesko, who is expected to be out for approximately a month with a knee problem. United will be looking to leverage their current momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last five league fixtures.

Victory tonight would place Manchester United in a strong fifth position, potentially leapfrogging Everton, who could surpass them with a win. The match, taking place under the iconic lights of Old Trafford, is a key fixture as the team aims to solidify its standing.
