Manchester United begin a new week with a trip to Norwich City on Saturday, when their focus will be soon diverted.

Everton's fight for survival was given a big boost on Saturday when Anthony Gordon's first-half goal proved to be the difference in the game. United's wretched season continued on Saturday as Anthony Gordon's first-half goal proved to be the difference. United are now six points adrift of the top four.

Despite losing to fellow strugglers Burnley 2-0, their next opponents maintained their slim survival chances due to goals from Pierre Lees-Melou and Teemu Pukki in their final game before Christmas.

Arsene Wenger and Barcelona are both interested in signing Ruben Neves, the midfielder for Wolves.

Despite the fact that Manchester United has been connected with Neves, 25, for the past four years, the club has yet to make contact with the Portugal international's representatives.

Neves is under contract with Wolves until 2024, and coach Bruno Lage estimated that he was worth £100 million. However, if Neves refuses to sign a new deal, Wolves may be able to sell him for a profit.

Sir Alex Ferguson attended the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, although he was absent at Goodison Park on Saturday. The owners of Manchester United, who are still his paying employment and where he has a row of seats in the directors' box, are too powerful for Ferguson to speak out against, and he has long recognized that actions speak louder than words.

In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, schoolchildren in Manchester could have thought they were witnessing a different sport if they went to City one week and United the next. If you're used to seeing Manchester United every week, City's 2-2 tie with Liverpool was a cultural shock, and it became as unpleasant to watch as Alex's treatment session in A Clockwork Orange.

It appears that City and Liverpool are playing at a speed that suggests they are in fast forward. The football is fantastic, but the work ethic is just as impressive. Every week, every player on those teams works hard to prove why they should be starting.

When the electronic scoreboard at Goodison Park was lifted in the 64th minute on Saturday, it was a surprise to see Marcus Rashford being replaced off the field for Anthony Elanga. At Manchester United, it appears that nothing makes any sense anymore.

Rashford earned his 200th appearance for Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend. If Manchester United had the luxury of having additional attacking options, he would not have started that game. Rashford has suffered throughout the season, and he has endured an extraordinarily difficult campaign. On the basis of his recent play, he did not deserve to start against Everton, but he did, and it was yet another valuable opportunity for the youngster.

Despite the fact that Rashford has consistently failed to take such opportunities this season, he was desperate not to repeat the same error against Everton. Rashford got off to a good start and looked lively straight from the start.. Rashford was a glaring contrast to the rest of the team.
