Man Utd are making huge changes ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe coming into the club | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Manchester United notched a fifth win in six Premier League games as they cruised past Everton at a hostile Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon. Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial helped Erik ten Hag’s side to a 3-0 triumph to worsen Everton’s recent woes.<\/p>\n

Express Sport runs through four things learned as United closed the gap to the Premier League summit to six points.<\/p>\n

Garnacho enters history books<\/h2>\n

United were up against a loud environment on the back of Everton’s 10-point Premier League deduction.<\/p>\n

But they silenced the unsettled home crowd just three minutes in through Garnacho’s spectacular bicycle kick.<\/p>\n

It’s no overstatement to label it one of the greatest goals in Premier League history, with the technique eclipsing Wayne Rooney’s memorable strike against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

And Garnacho paid homage to his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, with his celebration after setting United on their way to an emphatic win.<\/p>\n

Fernandes shows captain credentials<\/h2>\n

Bruno Fernandes’ credentials as United captain often come under debate for his antics toward referees when the team’s backs are against the wall.<\/p>\n

But there is no doubting the Portuguese playmaker’s class, and he showed that with the assist for Martial’s third.<\/p>\n

He also showcased his class without the ball at his feet, though, by handing Rashford the ball to end his goal drought from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

The United No 10 gratefully took the opportunity, firing a delightful spot-kick past Jordan Pickford into the top corner.<\/p>\n

Martial bites Everton again<\/h2>\n

Martial is no longer United’s first-choice striker. That status belongs to Ten Hag’s new \u00a372million man Rasmus Hojlund.<\/p>\n

But if there was one player who Everton wouldn’t have wanted to replace the injured 20-year-old, it was him.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman loves scoring against the Toffees, recording his ninth such goal in 16 appearances on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Fernandes put the ball on a plate for Martial, who characteristically kept his composure to lift a close-range effort over Pickford.<\/p>\n
