This article analyzes in detail based on the press conference before the Everton match, where HLV Amorim affirmed the team can compete. Data shows Man Utd performing well in pre-season, with 42 points after 19 matches, equating to 2.21 points per match.

Context: The 2026-2026 Premier League season is lively with Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham spending hundreds of millions. Man Utd under Amorim, who succeeded Ruben Carrick as interim HLV in 2026, is building a long-term strategy.
