Manchester United will face Everton in their fourth pre-season fixture of the summer this weekend and Bryan Mbeumo will make his unofficial debut for the club.
After kicking off their US tour with a 2-1 win over West Ham and following it up with a dominant 4-1 victory over Bournemouth, Manchester United now turn their attention to their next pre-season challenge against Everton.
Ruben Amorim’s side are building momentum with each game, having shown clear improvement since their goalless draw with Leeds in Sweden.
Their latest outing was by far the most impressive of the summer, with a brace from Rasmus Højlund and goals from Patrick Dorgu and Ethan Williams sealing an emphatic win over Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth.
As United look to continue their preparations ahead of the new campaign against The Toffees, UtdDistrict have detailed everything you need to know ahead of Amorim’s fourth pre-season fixture.

The UtdDistrict X account will also be covering the fixture, providing quotes from Amorim and the players before and after the match, as well as live commentary of the game.
United vs Everton: Will Mbeumo start?
The biggest excitement around this fixture is that Bryan Mbeumo will finally make his unofficial debut for the club after missing the games against West Ham and Bournemouth.
Mbeumo was still working on his fitness during those fixtures but Amorim has confirmed that the new signing will appear against The Toffees.
“He’s going to play [vs Everton]. I’m really excited to see him playing and what he can give to our team,” the United boss told journalists on Saturday.
Whether the Cameroon international will start the game or come off the bench is another question. The starting XI for the match will be released at 20:45 BST on Sunday evening.
Matheus Cunha is also expected to return to action after missing the Bournemouth clash with fatigue, while André Onana and Joshua Zirkzee are unlikely to play.
Noussair Mazraoui was spotted in training with the squad ahead of the game after missing the last two fixtures with a knock. It remains to be seen whether he will be involved or if United will be careful with his return.
