December 1st 2024.
Excitement and anticipation filled the air as Ruben Amorim prepared to lead his first Premier League match at the iconic Old Trafford stadium. The new Manchester United manager was eager to continue his unbeaten streak and secure his first victory in the league against Everton on Sunday. However, to the disappointment of fans, the match would not be televised.
Last weekend, Amorim took charge of the Red Devils for the first time, resulting in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich. He then led the team to a thrilling 3-2 win against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday. Now, all eyes were on him as he aimed to secure his first Premier League win against the Toffees.
Everton, managed by Sean Dyche, had only lost one of their last eight league matches. However, their goal-scoring record had been less than impressive, with no goals scored in their last three games and only 10 scored in 12 matches so far this season. On the other hand, the Red Devils had a strong record against Everton, having won their last five meetings and losing only once in their last 12 encounters.
But the road ahead would not be easy for Everton, as they faced a tough schedule in the month of December. Along with Manchester United, they would also have to take on Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City. It was a daunting task, but Dyche and his team were determined to rise to the challenge.
Many fans were left wondering why the highly anticipated Manchester United vs Everton match was not being televised. The answer lay in the rescheduling of the game. Originally scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 30 November, it was pushed to 1:30pm on Sunday due to United's Europa League match on Thursday. Similarly, Tottenham vs Fulham was also rescheduled to the same time as Spurs had played Roma in the Europa League.
Instead, the televised matches on Sunday would be Chelsea vs Aston Villa at 1:30pm and Liverpool vs Manchester City at 4pm. Fans who were unable to catch the games live could tune in to Match of the Day 2 at 10:30pm on BBC One for highlights of all the matches. Despite not being able to watch the match live, the excitement and support for both teams remained unwavering.
