Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was visibly upset after the victory over Everton, calling their match schedule “a joke”.

The Red Devils fell behind in the 19th minute when Brazilian winger Bernard put Everton in front.

However, Manchester United soon tied through midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

The playmaker found space in the opposition box between Michael Keane and Mason Holgate.

He dispatched a Luke Shaw cross with a brilliant header in the 25th minute.

Fernandes did it again shortly after to put the visitors in the lead.

It floated on a cross for Marcus Rashford, which the Englishman seemed to overlook. The ball hit the post and entered the net.

Fernandes continued his effective streak by preparing Edinson Cavani for his first Premier League goal.

Cavani smoothly finished the opportunity in the 95th minute to guarantee Solskjaer’s team all three points.

Despite the great victory, the Norwegian manager was visibly angry after the match.

Speaking to reporters, Solskjaer said: “We were prepared to fail. The start time set us up to fail. We’ve been to Turkey, we played a lot of games this season, we came back Thursday morning and we played Saturday lunchtime, it’s an absolute disaster.

“These guys deserve better. Luke Shaw was injured because of that. It’s a hamstring that could be long and Marcus Rashford could be struggling.

“The authorities prepared us for failure, who is responsible? We’ve had enough of that. Players this season, in these times, a pandemic, mentally and physically is wearing thin. Let’s play on a Sunday, there is an international break after this, it’s a joke.

“The players were brilliant. Cavani is getting better and better. “

United’s next game is against West Brom on Sunday, November 21.

It could well be the biggest weekend of the season so far. The two biggest title contenders will finally meet in a long-awaited meeting, but will Leicester or Wolves prevail? Liverpool also play Manchester City or something similar.
