Man United vs. Everton score, result, highlights as draw leaves Red Devils with Premier League Summer Series title

Manchester United finished their U.S. tour strong as they played well in a 2-2 draw with Everton to finish as winners of the four-team Premier League Summer Series.

It’s been a promising summer jaunt through the United States for the Red Devils, and they were strong throughout much of the finale against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring inside the opening 20 minutes from the spot after Amad Diallo won a penalty, and Mason Mount scored a fabulous curler in the second half off the bench.

Bryan Mbeumo made his first appearance in a Man United shirt and was bright throughout, as United forced a number of quality saves from Jordan Pickford throughout the match. Largely, the Everton goalkeeper was up to the task, making a host of excellent stops to keep the Toffees alive.

Everton, however, would not go away. Iliman Ndiaye brought the Toffees level just before halftime after a possessional error from Luke Shaw, and the scoreline was even again with 15 minutes to go thanks to a wildly fluky own-goal off a deflected Amad Diallo clearance towards his own net.

Ruben Amorim will be largely pleased with the performance, and the summer series in general, as United finished atop the four-team table with Bournemouth and West Ham also involved. Yet the goofiness that allowed Everton to finish this game with a point was reminicent of their error-prone 2024/25 campaign, and Amorim will know those mistakes must be eliminated to keep from causing issues in more meaningful matches.

Man United vs. Everton highlights

FULLTIME: Man United 2-2 Everton

The match finishes level, which sees Manchester United “win” the Premier League Summer Series!

United will feel they had more chances throughout the match, forcing Jordan Pickford into a number of impressive saves. They conceded two relatively fluky goals at the back, which won’t worry Ruben Amorim too much in the end.

It’s been a fantastic summer for United, while Everton will take the result after a pair of defeats prior.

75th min: GOAL! EVERTON! An own-goal has Everton level again, off Amad Diallo! It’s as odd a goal as you’ll see!

Two players get in a shoving match in midfield during play, but Everton remain steadfast with their push towards the attacking third. Amad tracks back to dispossess Dwight McNeil before he could control a cutback at the top of the penalty area, but the Man United star strikes the ball way too hard towards his own net, and it clips off Ayden Heaven and past Altay Bayindir! What?????

Bruno Fernandes and Iliman Ndiaye were the two players to tussle at midfield, and both are shown yellow cards.

69th min: GOAL! MAN UNITED! A gorgeous goal by Mason Mount not long after coming off the bench! It’s a fantastic finish in a tight window, curling the ball around a defender and inside the far post from about 12 yards out.

2nd half kickoff: Amazingly for a preseason friendly, there are no changes for either side at halftime. Everton, especially, have leaned heavily on their starters amidst a number of injuries.

HALFTIME: Man United 1-1 Everton

At the break, Man United were the better side, but Jordan Pickford has thwarted them on a number of occasions and Everton’s late goal has it level at the break. Bryan Mbeumo was a menace in his first Man United start, but ultimately hasn’t been able to find the net.

40th min: GOAL! EVERTON! The Toffees are level! It’s been a back-and-forth affair, and Everton taken advantage of the latest chance in front of goal! Man United appear to have cleared the ball, but Luke Shaw foolishly tries to dribble out of his own third and is tackled by Vitaliy Mykolenko.

Idrissa Gueye then sends it straight to Ilman Ndiaye at the far post for the leveler!

18th min: Penalty, Man United! James Tarkowski fells Amad Diallo and the Red Devils have a chance from the spot! Diallo had broken free one-on-one but was thwarted by Jordan Pickford, and after recovering the ball he was bundled over by the Everton veteran!

Bruno Fernandes steps up and…GOAL! MAN UNITED!

Man United vs. Everton lineups, team news

The main question for United is whether Bryan Mbeumo will make his first appearance, either from the start or off the bench. Amorim had been cautious with the forward as his protracted transfer to the club meant he was a little behind his new teammates in terms of fitness levels, but the coach said Mbeumo was in line to start the match.

The injury picture for the Red Devils remains the same. Lisandro Martinez won’t be back until later in the year, while Andre Onana and Noussair Mazraoui are still recovering from hamstring issues. Joshua Zirkzee has what he described as a “minor” injury, and he is targeting a return in time for the start of the season. Harry Maguire went off as a precaution against Bournemouth and has not been risked from the start here.

Amorim has gone with a strong side from the outset, but expect more minutes for Diego Leon, Tyler Fredricson and Ethan Williams, who scored against Bournemouth, as the game goes on.

Man United starting lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Bayindir (GK) — Shaw, De Ligt, Yoro — Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Diallo — Fernandes, Cunha — Mbeumo.

Man United subs: Heaton (GK), Mee (GK), Heaven, Leon, Maguire, Dorgu, Fredricson, Casemiro, Mount, Kone, Collyer, Mantato, Obi-Martin, E. Williams, Hojlund.

New signing Adam Aznou is on the bench after arriving from Bayern Munich, and so too is Thierno Barry despite speculation he could get his first start for the Toffees.

James Tarkowski comes into defense in what looks to be a traditional back four, while Jordan Pickford returns in goal after Mark Travers played against West Ham.

Everton starting lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko — Gueye, Iroegbunam — Garner, Alcaraz, Ndiaye — Beto.

Everton subs: Tyrer (GK), Travers (GK), Aznou, Thomas, Onyango, McNeil, Armstrong, Heath, Chermiti, Clarke, Barry.
