Everton vs Manchester United, Team News and Confirmed Lineups Everton Team News Speaking at the pre-match press conference, David Moyes made it clear he was disappointed that the club didn’t do more business in the summer transfer window, saying he was “disappointed we didn’t do more business and disappointed things didn’t go our way.” Moyes also explained the deal for Folarin Balogun fell through because “the player had a problem in his medical and that was simply it.” Discussing the sale of Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City, Moyes said: “We were looking to get some money in. We lost Iliman, who we didn’t want to lose, but it’s quite difficult when the likes of Manchester City come along looking for your players. Ultimately, we didn’t want to lose a lot of the players, but for different reasons, that had to happen.” The only absentee for the visit of Manchester United will be Christian Norgaard. Despite the lack of new signings, Moyes will be pleased he has no fresh injury concerns. The signing of Jack Grealish on loan will be a huge boost for Everton having lost Ndiaye.

He had some time off, which was important to make sure it was right moving forward and no setbacks; you can never guarantee that, but give him a chance to be fit. He made big strides last season; he’s still young, still adapting to a point, learning, and developing his game. Loads more to come from Ben. It’s just being patient, looking after him and letting him grow into the season,” said the United gaffer. Carrick was also asked about his squad balance and said: “I hope everyone stays fit and available all through the season, but we’re not putting a squad together for one game on Sunday; we need a squad for the whole season. To have them options, to change during the game, game to game, sometimes we play every three or four days, there’s a whole picture in there we need to balance and get right. Whoever plays in there, we feel we have different partnerships and combinations we can rely on to get through the season. Certainly not just week-by-week. It is long-term, and we need to get through injuries and suspensions.” Read More: Top Five Greatest Manager Rants Everton Confirmed Lineup This section will be completed once the lineup is confirmed.
