Man United Drop Points vs Everton in 2-2 Draw

Manchester United squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium, leaving manager Michael Carrick with his head in his hands. Despite taking the lead twice through Bryan Mbeumo and substitute Benjamin Sesko, United conceded a 96th-minute stunner from debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Carrick admitted it "feels like a defeat" after his side failed to capitalize on dominance.

Marcus Rashford impressed in his second straight start, linking well with Luke Shaw at left back, but was substituted after feeling discomfort. Everton, managed by David Moyes, showed resilience despite a chaotic transfer window that saw Iliman Ndiaye leave for Manchester City and a move for Folarin Balogun collapse. Summer signings Tyrique George and Hayden Hackney shone for the hosts, who remain with just 18 senior outfield players.

United's inability to kill off games remains a concern after similar patterns in wins over Ipswich Town and a loss to Hull City.
