JAKARTA - Manchestes United visited Everton's headquarters at Goodison Park Stadium in the English Premier League match, Sunday, November 25 evening WIB with high confidence. Manager Erik ten Hag is optimistic that his mainstay duo Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford can drown the hosts.

Everton may be MU's target to gain three points. A hard blow hit Everton after being sanctioned for a 10-point deduction for a financial fair play foul. As a result, Everton immediately went down to the relegation zone because it only had four points left.

Ten Hag remains hopeful for Hojlund who began to show his sharpness against Everton. Although he has not been able to score in domestic competitions, Hojlund has already done so in the Champions League. He has even scored five goals from four matches in European competitions.

Even though he failed to break into the opponent's goal again when he won 1-0 over Luton Town, this Danish national team striker will be the mainstay of the Red Devils goal machine.

Likewise Rashford who has not shown his best performance. This season, he has only scored one goal.

However, Rashford remains Ten Hag's first choice to hunt for MU's third win.

"If you have scored five goals in the Champions League, you will immediately score a goal in the Premier League. It's just a matter of time," said Ten Hag.

"As long as we remain as a team and create chances, and as long as he has faith, I believe he will score goals," he said again.

Ten Ha also believes Rashford will return to being a mainstay as a der bomber even though he has not played 12 games. Last season, Rashford scored 30 goals in various competitions.

"He has proven it throughout his career. He scored more than 100 goals in the Premier League. I'm sure the moment he will come," he said.

MU needs a win in order to maintain its position as well as close the distance of points with the team above it.

By having 21 points, MU has not been able to shift the fifth place in Aston Villa, which is already four points ahead.

But at least MU can keep his distance from the team below and at the same time close the distance between points with Villa.
