Manchester United and Everton faced off in the final match of the 2025 Premier League Summer Series at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, USA, on August 3. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, securing the title for Manchester United.
United, who had won all their previous pre-season matches, entered the game in excellent form. Their determination and energy were reminiscent of their traditional style. Bruno Fernandes was instrumental in the game, scoring a goal and providing an assist.
Everton, on the other hand, had a tougher pre-season, having lost to both West Ham and Bournemouth before this draw. Their coach, David Moyes, brought a limited squad to the tournament, which was reflected in their performances.
Manchester United, under manager Ruben Amorim, displayed a squad that is recovering in spirit and cohesion ahead of the regular season. Everton, however, are still in need of reinforcements and improvements to match Premier League competitiveness.
In terms of team news, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo, Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Altay Bayindir, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte are expected to start for United. James Tarkowski, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, and Michael Keane are expected to feature for Everton, with Garner and Keane facing their former club.
The best odds for Manchester United to win against Everton are 3/5, according to ZetBet. However, Everton have lost their last four pre-season matches, and United have won their last two against West Ham and Bournemouth.
With this draw, Manchester United lead the Premier League Summer Series with a 2-0 win record. A draw or win against Everton would likely secure the Premier League Summer Series title for United.
As for Everton, their first Premier League match of the 2025/26 season is against Leeds United on August 18. They have added four players to their squad this summer: Thierno Barry, Carlos Alcaraz, Adam Aznou, and Mark Travers. Everton have reportedly made a £27m bid for Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling, but it has been rejected.
