Ruben Amorim announces three Manchester United players regain fitness ahead of Everton clash.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed a triple fitness boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton at Goodison Park tomorrow.
The Red Devils have been in a dreadful run of form in the top flight. They have suffered eight defeats from the last 12 games, including a 1-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
United were missing six players from the Leicester City win at Spurs, but Amorim has confirmed a much-needed boost ahead of the Merseyside trip on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking to reporters, the Portuguese tactician said that Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Leny Yoro will be available for tomorrow’s encounter against David Moyes’ side.
He said: “Yes, because we don’t lose players. We recover players – Chris, Manu and Leny return.”
The Red Devils are languishing 15th in the league standings after a 12th loss of the season.
They had their chances to convert against Spurs last weekend. Alejandro Garnacho was guilty of squandering a clear-cut opportunity to equalise in the opening half.

United must produce a better performance to beat the Toffees. The Red Devils registered a comfortable 4-0 win over the Merseyside club at Old Trafford earlier this season.
However, the Toffees had their moments. Everton are now the in-form team with 13 points from the last five league games. United need to be at their best to outclass them.
The return of Ugarte in particular is a huge boost, considering Casemiro was below-par at Spurs.
He was outrun by Spurs’ midfielders and looked a shadow of himself, losing regular possession.
Alongside Ugarte, Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro could also come into the XI for the game.
That’s a big boost for United, especially with Ugarte back in midfield. Casemiro has struggled lately, so having a more mobile presence next to Mainoo could make a difference. Eriksen’s creativity will also help, especially if United struggle to break Everton down.
But Goodison Park won’t be easy—Everton’s form has been solid, and with the crowd behind them, they’ll be tough to beat. Do you think Amorim will make big tactical changes, or will he stick with what hasn’t been working?
