WATCH : Martial scores a beauty to give United the lead against Everton

Jose Mourinho’s side traveled to Everton knowing that only a win would suffice, as United have already dropped many points during this festive Christmas season.

Since losing to Manchester City at home, United look like a team that has completely lost belief, as Jose Mourinho has begun to look grouchier with each passing day.

After dropping another two points to Southampton last weekend, Jose knew that they had to pick up maximum points against Everton, with the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham pressurizing their top four spot.

This match was also significant because it marked the first time Wayne Rooney faced his old side since his move back to his boyhood club.

The first half was a very tight match, as neither United nor Everton seemed to gain a foothold in the match.

Things started changing after the break, as United started bossing the game, with Mata and Pogba in particular controlling the tempo of the match.

The pressure soon paid off, as Martial curled in a beauty into the top corner!
