Louis van Gaal is looking to end Sunday’s visit of Everton with the first consecutive league wins of his Manchester United tenure. Wayne Rooney misses the outing as the opening match of his three-game suspension, so Juan Mata is in line to take the captain’s No10 berth. Everton returned to these shores at 3am on Friday from their Europa League trip to Russia’s FK Krasnodar so Roberto Martínez will hope his team are not too tired after the journey. Jamie Jackson
