Manchester United piles pressure on Koeman
Three goals in the final seven minutes from Manchester United blew Everton away in a 4-0 win on Wayne Rooney's return to Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney's first return to Old Trafford since leaving Manchester United in the close-season ultimately ended in a 4-0 Premier League thumping thanks to three late goals, as Romelu Lukaku scored against his former side Everton to heap the pressure on Toffees coach Ronald Koeman.
United was poor for much of the match, but blew Everton away in the final stages, with Rooney, who previously missed a couple of good chances, powerless to help after his substitution in the 82nd minute.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial all netted after Rooney's exit to condemn Everton to a fourth successive defeat in all competitions.
Unsurprisingly, most of the pre-match attention was on Rooney and Lukaku, but within four minutes of kick-off Antonio Valencia had successfully made himself the man of the moment with a simply spectacular 20-yard strike.
Everton did improve as the first period went on, with Rooney squandering a decent chance, but United remained the bigger threat and Lukaku should have scored on two separate occasions.
United was poor after the break, however, with its attacks becoming predictable and slow, while David de Gea twice bailed them out when denying Rooney and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
But in the final seven minutes United came to life once again to punish Koeman and Everton, as Lukaku set up Mkhitaryan, scored himself and then saw Martial fire home a penalty, extending Everton's winless run to six games in all competitions to further increase the scrutiny on Koeman.
