Roy Keane Disagrees with Ian Wright’s Prediction for Everton vs Manchester United
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has expressed his disagreement with Ian Wright’s prediction that Everton will defeat Manchester United in their upcoming match. Keane believes that trouble at Goodison Park won’t magically transform Everton into Barcelona.
Everton’s 10-Point Deduction
After the international break, Manchester United will face Everton, who are currently reeling from a 10-point deduction for violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. This deduction has left Everton joint-bottom of the league with Burnley, both teams having only accumulated four points so far.
Despite the deduction, Everton plans to appeal the decision. The charged atmosphere at Goodison Park is expected to create a hostile environment for Manchester United.
Everton’s Recent Form
Despite their off-field issues, Everton has been performing well on the pitch. They are currently unbeaten in their last four matches, with a recent away victory against Crystal Palace and a draw against Brighton. This positive form has led Ian Wright to predict a strong performance from Everton against Manchester United.
Roy Keane’s Response
Roy Keane, however, disagrees with Wright’s prediction. He believes that the atmosphere at Goodison Park won’t magically transform Everton into a team like Barcelona. Keane argues that if Manchester United scores the first goal, the home crowd will turn against Everton. He also points out that Everton has been inconsistent at home.
Ultimately, Wright and Keane settled on a 2-2 draw as their prediction for the match.
Erik ten Hag’s Perspective
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag acknowledges that Everton’s troubles could fuel their performance but also believes that it could work against them. He emphasizes that his team needs to focus on their own game and approach the match with a winning attitude.
Overall, the Everton vs Manchester United match is expected to be highly anticipated and unpredictable.
