Jordan Pickford reacts

Everton star Jordan Pickford stated that his team has "eight finals" left after his man-of-the-match performance against Manchester United.

Pickford told the BBC: “We know they are a good side with them being in the top four.

“We were still in the game with it being 1-0 but as a team unit we need to be better. We had a game plan and sometimes you have to hold your hand up. We have got to keep grafting and working hard.

"We know as a team we want to be much better and coming to Old Trafford we need to step up to the plate. We have eight games left and they are eight finals.”

Harry Maguire speaks

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire admitted the hosts should have done more in the first half after all the missed opportunities.

Maguire told Sky Sports: “It was great football from ourselves and we were disappointed to only go in 1-0 up [in the first half].

“The game should have been gone. The lads started on the front foot, we were aggressive, we created chance after chance after chance and I think if the score was three, four or five nobody would have any arguments.

“So yes, we were disappointed to go in at 1-0 and we knew the second half would be different but I felt like we controlled the game well.

"We got a comfortable 2-0 win in the end and now we focus on the next. We had a game plan and got in behind them a lot.”

United opened the scoring after 36 minutes with Scott McTominay after Jadon Sancho set the midfielder up with a stunning through ball.

The Scotland international beat the Toffees' goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with a slick shot from a tight corner down the right.

But the Manchester giants' victory came at a cost as Rashford hobbled off with what appeared to be a groin injury.
