Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer has predicted the outcome of Manchester United’s Monday meeting with Everton, and it is not what Michael Carrick and the supporters will want to hear.
Undefeated streak
United will head to the Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to return to winning ways after West Ham ended Michael Carrick’s perfect start with a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium in their last outing.
Before the match against West Ham, Carrick had led United to four consecutive wins. This run included victories over Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham.
While the result against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men is ultimately not what the Red Devils wanted, it did not do much damage as United still remained in fourth place and ensured Carrick has yet to taste defeat since being appointed as temporary replacement for Ruben Amorim.
Much like West Ham did, David Moyes is likely to deploy a low block in an attempt to frustrate United.
Speaking to club media ahead of the match, Carrick warned his players that Everton will make the match as hostile as possible.
Carrick called on his team to take on the challenge and embrace it. The pressure on United to win has increased after Chelsea and Aston Villa both dropped points on Saturday.
A win for United would put them three points above Chelsea and three points behind Unai Emery’s men.
But Shearer does not think United will secure the three points, predicting the win will likely be shared on Merseyside.
Shearer’s prediction
Shearer told the Subway“It’s a difficult one.”
“But I think the atmosphere will be great and it will be difficult for Man United, regardless of the good form they are in.”
The former Newcastle man added: “I think I’m going to say a draw.”
Everton vs. United starts at 8 p.m.
