Manchester United Stages Comeback to Secure a Draw at Everton After a disappointing first half, Manchester United turned things around to salvage a 2-2 draw away at Everton. Back in 2019, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park. At halftime of the 2025 fixture, it seemed like Ruben Amorim’s squad might suffer a similar fate. However, after a stern halftime talk, United responded, overturning a 2-0 deficit to earn a valuable point. A controversial late penalty decision ensured they avoided defeat. While several United players struggled, one standout performer was Manuel Ugarte. Fraizer Campbell Praises Manuel Ugarte Speaking to MUTV after the match, former United academy striker Fraizer Campbell applauded Ugarte’s display. The Uruguayan midfielder not only scored the equalizer—his first goal for the club—but also impressed with his overall play. He completed 91% of his passes, won two tackles, and dominated six duels. Campbell was particularly impressed by Ugarte’s versatility, stating: “I couldn’t tell what position he was playing today—he was everywhere! On the right, on the left, in the middle… then he popped up with a goal. He’s such an important player for us. His energy and movement across the pitch are crucial for the team.” Fellow pundit Wes Brown echoed this sentiment, highlighting Ugarte’s strong performances, especially in away fixtures at Liverpool and Arsenal. Chido Obi’s Impact Off the Bench Teenage forward Chido Obi was introduced in the 69th minute and played a role in United’s comeback. During his brief appearance, he had 10 touches—nearly as many as Rasmus Højlund, who was subbed off after managing only 12. Campbell believes the 17-year-old will benefit greatly from these opportunities, explaining: “This will be huge for him. Youth football is different—he’s a big, strong lad, but in the Premier League, he can’t rely solely on physicality. He’ll need to adapt his game and prove his potential.” Campbell emphasized that every minute on the pitch contributes to a player’s growth, adding: “It’s a steep learning curve, but that 20-minute cameo will help him. The more experience he gets, the better his chances of earning a regular spot in the starting lineup.”
