Despite their 4-0 victory over Everton, Ruben Amorim's Man Utd team has been criticized as being "very average."

In a thrilling match at Old Trafford, Manchester United dominated against Everton, securing a well-deserved 4-0 victory. However, despite the impressive result, United's performance left some critics unimpressed. Former Premier League striker, Dean Ashton, branded United as "very average" despite their win.

This was Ruben Amorim's first Premier League win since taking over from Erik ten Hag as United's manager. The team's outstanding performance was highlighted by the brilliant goals from Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. With this win, United moved into the top-half of the Premier League, just four points away from securing a spot in the Champions League.

Although United completely outplayed struggling Everton, their performance was deemed "very average" by Ashton. "I didn't think Manchester United were very good at all," he commented on Sky Sports. However, he did acknowledge the team's moments of brilliance, especially on the counter-attack. He also pointed out that United's XG (expected goals) was only 0.78, indicating that they were not as dominant as the 4-0 scoreline suggests.

Ashton also had some words of praise for Everton, despite their disappointing loss. He was particularly impressed with Rashford's performance, who had endured a tough season previously but has now scored three goals in his last two games. "When Rashford is comfortable and happy, he will always be one of the best players in the Premier League," Ashton said. He also noted the improvement in Rashford's attitude off the ball, which he believes is crucial for the team's success under Amorim.

While United's victory moved them up the table, Everton remained in 15th place, just two points above the relegation zone. The Toffees have only won two of their 13 league games so far this season, and their struggles in front of goal continue, with no goals scored in their last four games. Ashton believes that Everton's upcoming tough fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City will be a real test for the team.

"Sean Dyche will probably think they actually played alright today," Ashton commented on Everton's performance. "He's got to find a way for Everton to be threatening, otherwise the defense will always be under severe pressure." He also highlighted the need for Everton to improve in their attacking positions, expressing concern for the team's fans.

Looking ahead, Manchester United will face an in-form Arsenal team, while Everton will welcome Wolves to Goodison Park. It remains to be seen how both teams will fare in their upcoming matches, but one thing is for sure - the Premier League never fails to entertain.
