[Anthony Martial](/people/anthony-martial/) making the scoreline a little kinder to the visitors. Ten Hag was less than enthused with his side's overall performance, though, branding them "not very good" in his post-match press conference. [Ben Godfrey](/people/ben-godfrey/), [Nathan Patterson](/people/nathan-patterson/), [Mason Holgate](/people/mason-holgate/) and [Yerry Mina](/people/yerry-mina/) due to injury, although the latter pair have returned to training and could be in contention to face Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane could recover from an ankle injury in time to play in Sunday evening's Premier League match with Everton.

"Let's see how match-fit he is but he's better in terms of his injury. Seamus Coleman replaced Patterson for the Saints success, with ex-Reds Michael Keane and James Garner among the substitutes. There are obviously other decisions to be made by the boss for a key fixture on Merseyside. "Yeah, he [Calvert-Lewin] is in contention," explained manager Frank Lampard. He's not returned to team training so we have to wait for that moment." "He's back on the training grass so he's outside, doing his work, but still individual.

Erik ten Hag has said he wants Manchester United to be nastier and smarter as he attempts to make them challengers again.

“It’s not something that you build or can progress in a week or a month – it’s a system that has to be and a demand in top football. I have to keep reminding them to play smart but they have to play nasty as well.” We have seen it against Liverpool and Arsenal [when winning] but now we have to do it on a consistent basis; that is what we have to work for now. “We want to play tough, we want to keep the game going and then in the second minute it’s already a booking for Diogo. He referenced Diogo Dalot’s booking for a challenge on Jack Grealish in the opening moments of Sunday’s [6-3 loss at Manchester City](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/02/manchester-city-manchester-united-premier-league-match-report). Like the first booking on Sunday, I really don’t understand.

Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United can match Manchester City, but that it will take months of work to achieve.

You have to bring it every training, in your system, as a squad, as an individual player. It’s not something you build in a week or a month. But it’s a demand nowadays in top football.” It will take months." It will take more than weeks. He said: “We have seen it [with wins] against Liverpool, we have seen it against Arsenal, but now we have to do it on a consistent basis.

It was a frustrating night for Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester United needed help off the bench to beat Omonia Nicosia.

He fired one speculative free-kick high into the stands and then fluffed his best chance of the night when [Diogo Dalot](https://www.espn.com.sg/soccer/player/_/id/238902/Diogo-Dalot) squared his pass across the box but Ronaldo saw his effort come back off the post. He's not doing enough to affect games regularly and has a habit of disappearing or taking the easy decision when he gets the ball. It was his poor pass which played Malacia into trouble for Omonia's opener and was quickly replaced at half-time with Rashford, who needed only eight minutes to score the equaliser. It's going to be a different game at Old Trafford, but we have seen them up close and know what their weaknesses are. United should have been out of sight well before Omonia scored their first and it was fortunate that Rashford and Martial were on hand to mount a rescue act in the second half. Despite dominating the first half in terms of possession and chances, United went in at half-time 1-0 down thanks to a shambolic But while there have been flashes of his ability with goals against [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364), Leicester and Sheriff, he's struggling to turn it on week after week. Rashford scored again to make it 3-1 before Nikolaos Panagiotou made it 3-2 late on to set up a nervous finish. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst)

No club came in with a suitable offer for United to part ways with. Sources close to Ronaldo have now dropped new bombshells about the pairs relationship.

Ronaldo, in his second spell at United, has started only one league game this season and was linked with a move away during the summer transfer window.

He's obviously not the player he was when he was 22 or 23, for instance. "Knowing him, it'll be very difficult for him to sit on the bench ... him and (Lionel) Messi are two of the greatest players to ever play the game, but ultimately time catches up with us all.

Rooney, who played with Ronaldo at United between 2004-2009, said the 37-year-old will be finding his lack of game time hard to swallow.

Will Manchester United respond from their derby thrashing by defeating Everton at Goodison Park? Here's how you can watch the action.

United are favourites for the victory here but not by a significant degree. United manager Ten Hag hopes Raphael Varane could be back after missing the win over Omonia with an ankle problem, although he admitted it "will be close". Luke Shaw could also get the nod over Tyrell Malacia, who has been substituted at halftime in each of the Red Devils' past two games. The rest of the matches are streamed on NBC platform Peacock for subscribers. Sun, Oct 9 Everton play host to Manchester United at Goodison Park, Liverpool. — [can be streamed on fuboTV](https://www.fubo.tv/stream/ca/epl/?irad=1372819&irmp=1131770&sharedid=editorial-TSN-Match-Premier_League_Everton_vs_Manchester_United). 14:00 ET The match kicks off at 7 p.m.

Prior to that cameo, Martial had only played one half of football in the Premier League this term – an impressive contribution our 2-1 win over Liverpool – ...

While the manager has made it clear that while he will not rush his players back, Martial looks in line to see his game-time increased in the coming weeks, as the matches come thick and fast for the Reds at home and abroad. Martial returned to action against City in impressive fashion, and looks to be in line for more minutes when United face Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday evening. One of the few positives from Sunday’s loss to Manchester City was the second-half introduction of Manchester United striker Anthony Martial, and his subsequent brace in the 6-3 defeat.

Man Utd face a tricky trip to Goodison Park on Sunday and there are likely to be changes to the team after events in Cyprus.

He’s a great player and going into a tournament you can have connections like that all over the pitch." If they can reach that level and start displaying that understanding once again then it will give Ten Hag exactly what he wants down the left-hand side. "A lot of the things we do are simple but they’re effective so we have to keep trying to improve and getting into dangerous areas. [How the United dressing room reacted to Ten Hag criticism](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-united-news-dalot-omonia-25202965) [Malacia](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/tyrell-malacia) made his way into the United team as a half-time substitute, replacing Luke Shaw at Brentford and showing character in difficult circumstances, but after his struggles against City and Omonia Nicosia, his run as a starter must be coming to an end. Shaw will often look to give Rashford the ball early, giving him space to assess his options and run at defenders. Malacia hasn't been seen enough as an attacking force and Sancho is continuing to drift in and out of games.
