Value on Rangnick's Red Devils at Everton
Manchester United will need to take maximum points from Goodison Park on Saturday to keep their top four hopes alive with Tottenham Hotspur looking dangerous in recent weeks.
The Toffees are in midweek action at Burnley and therefore will have less time to prepare for the matchup.
Frank Lampard is not doing well with the Toffees and is actually painting Rafael Benitez in a much better light since replacing him in the dugout.
The Red Devils have the players to exploit the Toffees’ very weak backline and rack up the goals to help their differential in what could prove to be a close run thing for fourth place.
Process
United have been very poor defensively this season, overperforming to concede 41 from 46.8 expected goals (xG) against, at an average of 1.56 xGA.
David De Gea has reiterated why he is first choice at Old Trafford this season, and the form of the Spaniard appears likely to lead to Dean Henderson exiting the club this summer.
It was a small surprise to see United at a backable price to win the game.
The market is still showing respect to Everton because of their history, rather than treating them as a relegation-scrapping side, which is what they are and their performance data reflects that.
United are not the side they once were, but they are scintillating going forward on their day and Everton have been hopeless at the back, it could be a very comfortable Saturday lunchtime for Ralf Rangnick’s side.

The price could definitely shorten before the weekend, so it is worth getting on this one early with the Red Devils capable of taking full advantage of the below par Toffees.
