Man Utd fans are all making the same point after Everton's points deduction confirmed

Manchester United fans are all making the same point following Everton's 10-point deduction from the Premier League.

Everton have also aimed a thinly-veiled dig at Premier League champions Manchester City, who were hit with charges of 115 alleged rule breaches back in February.

It means Everton are now in the relegation zone and two points from safety. This is where United enter the picture.

United struggled to wins over Burnley, Sheffield United and Fulham on their travels this term and were beaten by Bayern Munich and FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

They've won four of their last five in the league, but supporters on social media are concerned.

One person said: "We're going to a hostile Goodison Park first after this news. It's not looking good."

Another put: "They've invented points deduction bounce."

Someone tweeted: "Think that United game could be the most feral Goodison Park will ever be."

While a fourth added: "Just clocked our first game after the international break. Oh no."

Last season, United beat Everton three times. They ran out 2-1 and 2-0 winners in the league, then also knocked the Merseyside outfit out of the FA Cup.

United could be without several first-team players for the trip in nine days time. Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund both went off injured in Saturday's 1-0 win over Luton Town and didn't join up with Denmark for their Euro 2024 qualifiers.
