I congratulate him on that performance and I'm also happy it's his first goal this season in the Premier League - he had to wait for it and I'm sure there will be more goals. And once they have some goals, they come in the flow and games go easier. United manager Erik ten Hag selected Martial for his first Premier League start in over a year at Everton but he ended his warm-up early. For me, as a centre-back, in a game like this or any type of game in this league, you need someone in front of you who knows how to marshal that space in front to not give away opportunities. I'm not too concerned with him on the ball, he will give it to the players who are there to create. He has the experience and understands football. It was Casemiro who leaped like Ronaldo to outjump Amadou Onana when United were confined to their own penalty area in the 95th minute. The Manchester Evening News revealed last month that United are expected to trigger one-year options in five players' contracts before the January window closes and De Gea is on that list, along with Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw, Fred and Marcus Rashford. De Gea is United's second-highest earner after Cristiano Ronaldo and he's now spent more than 11 years at the club. Ronaldo fired home from the left hand side of the box just before the interval to send the game out of sight for Everton. That goal meant Antony broke Zlatan Ibrahimovic's record and became the first United player to score in his opening three Premier League games for the club. But United hit back 10 minutes later as Antony placed a shot beyond Jordan Pickford.

The Reds' success at Everton was our 100th in the league after conceding the game's first goal.

Only two of our 31 Premier League seasons haven’t featured a win from behind: the 1995/96 campaign, when Eric Cantona inspired us to a title win that required United to reel in early leaders Newcastle United, and 2011/12, as we were pipped to the post by rivals Manchester City. We are the first club to reach that landmark since the division was rebranded in 1992 and it’s taken a while to arrive, with United last coming from behind to win a top-flight match in December of last year, when we beat Arsenal 3-2 at Old Trafford in Michael Carrick’s final game as caretaker boss. United had further chances to stretch our lead and Marcus Rashford’s goal was harshly ruled out for handball, but we held firm in the face of a late Toffees onslaught and claimed the win, which Opta highlighted is our 100th victory in the Premier League after conceding the first goal of a game.

Man Utd look a far better side with Casemiro patrolling midfield with Rio Ferdinand outlining the reasons why the Brazilian is one of the best in the world.

He’s also a player of vast experience, a proven winner and someone who knows how to keep it simple. And explaining why he is a must-pick for Ten Hag, Ferdinand concluded: “That’s been his game his whole career. Casemiro can be United’s version of that – and then some. The Brazilian was a £70m summer signing from Real Madrid but has had to wait patiently for his chance. United are now up to fifth in the Premier League and within touching distance of the top four following Sunday’s 2-1 win at Everton. That brought about his 700th club goal – and after the match

Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand is "not concerned" by Casemiro's slow adaptation to English football after showing "intelligence" at Everton.

ANTONY scored his latest goal for Manchester United against Everton on Sunday evening.

He got off the mark for the Red Devils against Arsenal prior to the international break and grabbed a consolation in the heavy defeat at Manchester City before making his latest contribution against Everton on Sunday. He is a young player we have to develop but he has to develop himself." "That's what you see: first weeks, he scored goals, he did good stuff, but also I saw a lot of room for improvement in his game, and what I was happy with the goal he made now was out of the moment of getting in behind.

Victor Lindelof detailed the next stage of evolution in Ten Hag's Man Utd after showing glimpses of what their future opponents can expect against Everton.

“But I think we showed great character to get the three points. We concentrated and managed to see it through.” Harry Maguire remained sidelined following an injury sustained with England on international duty. “We showed that a few times in the first half, but we could have kept it more in the second half. To have a tough game in Europe and come here, and get the three points, is massive for us. “Always a tough place to come to, they had a good start and we showed great character to get back into the game,” said Lindelof (
