Everton and Manchester United draw 2-2 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium

Everton drew 2-2 with Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on September 6, 2026.

The match marked the return of Jack Grealish, who appeared as a substitute for his first action following a six-month foot injury. Manager David Moyes noted the result serves as a positive step as he attempts to integrate new signings and build a more competitive squad.

Everton finished the summer window having signed seven new players.
