Ainsley Maitland-Niles earns Everton a draw against Manchester United
Summary

Everton secured a 2-2 draw against Manchester United following a 96th-minute goal by debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The result at Everton extends the club's unbeaten start to the season after Tyrique George provided the team's first equalizer earlier in the match. Manchester United held the lead twice, including a second-half goal from Bryan Mbeumo, but failed to secure the win. Manchester United manager Michael Carrick described the outcome as feeling like a defeat after failing to protect their late advantage. Maitland-Niles, a late transfer deadline arrival, entered the game as a substitute for an injured James Garner to score from 25 yards out. Everton currently sits above Manchester United in the Premier League table following the result.
