Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United boss Ruben Amorim, speaking to TNT Sport on the decision to overturn a penalty given on-field for Everton in stoppage time: "I think it was a soft touch from what I saw. I think it was a soft penalty, it was clear."
On his side's performance: "We need to win three points and we need to win the whole game. The worst part is that we are losing the ball without pressure and we are not doing what we need to do. We were soft."
On fixing the problems in his side: "In training, we have to continue to do the same. In the second half, we changed nothing. We have to do the same thing but in a good way. We have to improve on creating chances and in this game also we struggle with scoring goals."
On what he can do to make his side more consistent: "I don't know, if I know, I will change it. Everything we do in the week, we have to do better in the game. In this moment, we need to focus on day by day. We need to survive this season and then we can think ahead. I don't want to just say the negative part. In the second half, we were close to win this game."

Everton have moved above Manchester United in the table, and they go into this game as favourites - and rightly so.
The Toffees are without the injured Iliman Ndiaye, which is a big blow for them, but Beto's improvement under David Moyes has been incredible and they definitely carry a goal threat now.
I actually think this game will be quite tight, though. I didn't think United's performance in last weekend's defeat at Tottenham was as bad as a lot of people made out.
They had some very good early chances they should have taken and I have a feeling they will have some opportunities this time too.
This smells of a 1-1 draw to me, which is what I am going with. One of my pals is an Everton fan and every time I haven't backed them to win under Moyes and they got something, he loved it.
He will probably be quite happy that I am not backing them here, either, but it's important for United boss Ruben Amorim that they get something at Goodison Park, and the way his side end this campaign is massive for him too.
United are not getting relegated whatever happens, but Amorim needs a decent result or two to build some credit for next season.
If he overhauls his squad in the summer, he needs to hit the ground running - it will be seen as being more his team and he has to get a tune out of them.
If that doesn't happen, then there is going to be a pile on from people saying there has been no progress since he took over from Erik ten Hag.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Everton (12:30 GMT)
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Amorim confirmed that three players are set to return from injury for Saturday's match: "This week is better than last week because we didn't lose players. Christian [Eriksen], Manuel [Ugarte] and Lenny [Yoro] return."
On longer-term injuries, he confirmed that Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, and Toby Collyer are still recovering. The latter is "the closest to returning", but it will not be immediate.
Amorim wanted to clarify comments he made recently about Christian Eriksen's heart: "It was a misunderstanding and I want to be really clear on that. He is healthy and ready to play for many years at a high level."
On what David Moyes has changed since returning to Everton: "The confidence. They believe a lot and they are being competitive. It's an amazing job from David Moyes. It is going to be a really hard game."
Amorim was not focused on the Europa League tie against Real Sociedad: "I just want to win against Everton. We are in a difficult situation in the Premier League and we have a lot of issues to solve in every game. If I see our performances, and focus on Real Sociedad or think about trophies in the moment, it is not the right way to do my job."
Amorim says he has seen an improvement in squad togetherness, specifically in training: "The sound of the training is different - when we are making an exercise, you feel the sound. People are talking, asking for the ball and giving directions. You can feel it in the environment, we are changing. It's important to use that in the game."
When asked if he has seen any improvements on the pitch during this poor run of form: "In some games that you think are more difficult, you feel that we can play and create situations and that is a good thing."

Image source, Getty ImagesRuben Amorim faces the media this lunchtime before Saturday's early kick-off at Everton with questions starting to stack up on the Portuguese.
Last weekend's defeat at Tottenham leaves the Red Devils in the unthinkable position of 15th in the table, a place behind the Toffees.
The lack of victories, lack of goals and general lack of direction since taking over means the pressure will inevitably crank up on ex-Sporting boss Amorim if he does not address those issues.
By contrast, Everton have been rejuvenated since the return of David Moyes, looking seemingly safe from relegation now by moving 13 points clear of the drop zone.
The Scot was given less than a season in charge at Old Trafford after taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson and, while it is still early days for Amorim, he really needs to somehow start turning the ship around.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel told BBC Radio Manchester's fresh episode of The Devils' Advocate podcast that "it's very difficult to judge" how the club is performing based on this season alone.
He said: "It's not a great season, and it'll go down in history as that. But it's changing times, Ruben Amorim has came in and taken over a team that is predominantly not his, so it's very difficult to judge how the club is doing and where they go from here.
"It's far too early to pass judgement. I will not pass judgement. It's time and time again that we sit back and think 'this isn't good.' But it's the reality of Manchester United at the moment.
"There are people there that want the best for the football club. It's a club that has been neglected on a number of levels for a long time, and they're in there to clean up. That is what they're saying, and I trust them."

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Schmeichel added: "It's not too great for Manchester United at the moment. It is changing times, there's the new ownership, new manager, but there's not a lot of money.
"It's not easy for Amorim to get to where he wants to be. He's already starting to bring in players, Patrick Dorgu for example, so you can see from the way he plays what he wants.
"Manchester United's history tells you the glory days will happen again, but how long it will take? I don't know."

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen it comes to bringing on young players, there are two sides to it.
You can look at it as an opportunity for some of these youngsters. Manchester United are not in a great place anyway, so what is the harm in throwing them on and seeing what character they have playing in a struggling United team? It's a team that fans are not happy with, one that is getting criticism from all angles, so maybe throw them in and see what they can do.
Young players play without fear so you could really find out what they are about in those kinds of moments.
Then there is the flip side. The team is in a horrible place at the minute with all the criticism, so do you want to protect these young players from all the backlash that that United have been getting? It is a really difficult one.
There is also the question of if they have had enough time with the team. We know that Ruben Amorim plays a particular way that everybody is scrutinising at the moment. It is a difficult system to play in the Premier League, so have the young players had enough time to learn it, process it and get it right?
I am sure these young players would love to play. They would have been itching to get on against Tottenham, to make an impression and have no fear, but is Amorim trying to protect them in a period when Manchester United are not playing well? We could see how the game was going on Sunday and the youngsters could have perhaps injected a little bit of energy into that team.
What would I do if I was in Amorim's position?
I am of the mindset that I also would have protected them myself as a coach. It is all well and good giving these players their debuts when you think they are ready and have got players around them to support them, when things are positive and you can integrate them into the team - that is always easier.
At one of the biggest clubs in the world, bringing on one or two might have been OK, but three or four could have done more harm than good.
But on the other side, I am also of the mindset - how do you recognize character? How do you build character? It is in those moments that you would recognise what character and qualities these young players have. You would be able to see quite early if they have that ability to handle the pressure of playing for United.
Fara Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nicola Pearson
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on if it is the right time for Manchester United to give minutes to their academy players.
The verdict was overwhelmingly in favour of blooding the youngsters:
Andy: This is the ideal time to field the junior players. The expectation on the senior squad is so low now, that there is no better time. I get that there will be a belief there is too much expectation, but for Ruben Amorim to play the way he wants, he needs these guys. He won't have enough to buy in each position.
Steve: It is very difficult to get the timing right with drafting in academy players, no matter how talented. When the Class of 92 were introduced, United's spine was Peter Schmeichel, Steve Bruce, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona. Enough said. However, Ayden Heaven at left centre-back, Sekou Kone in midfield and Chido Obi up front must be given minutes on the pitch as soon as possible.
Simon: If these players are proving themselves in the under-18s (and they are demolishing other teams) and the seniors are failing to score or win games, then it is a no-brainer. They have to play. No other new, experienced players will join United until the summer so now is the time.
Christine: If you are old enough, you are good enough. There was the Busby Babes and the Class of 92 - and now there can be the class of 2025. These are top-quality academy players who have passion and the ability to achieve. Give them every opportunity to succeed and they will give everything to Manchester United.
Jason: Everyone said this about Sir Alex Ferguson - you can't win anything with kids. What happened then?
Stephen: Wayne Rooney was 16 on his debut in the Premier League. Why is the manager so afraid to try his promising youngsters when clearly the players he keeps choosing are unable or unwilling to adapt to how he wants to play?
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United have published their latest set of financial results and have been criticised by a prominent fan group for financial "mismanagement".
BBC Sport spoke to football finance expert Kieran Maguire about the figures and club's finances.
What do you make of the results?
They are in line with expectations. The non-participation in the Champions League leaves a severe dent, as far as broadcast revenue is concerned, but because they are in the Europa League it offsets it somewhat and winning the FA Cup at the end of last season really saved their bacon.
The results are OK. Their revenue is down a little bit, but wages are down because of dropping out of the Champions League.
Their interest costs are substantial. Based on my calculations, they have now gone through the £1bn total interest cost since 2005, which was when the Glazers took over. We haven't got the full accounts but debt is down a little bit, partly due to the fact Sir Jim Ratcliffe has pumped money into the club so they have managed to repay a little bit of it.
Could winning the Europa League help salvage the club's finances?
A good season in the Champions League can be worth in excess of £100m, closer to £150m if you get to the final and win it. By the time you combine gate receipts, sponsor bonuses and the prize money available, the numbers involved are eye-watering. If you're lucky you can get around 25% of that in the Europa League.
But the Europa League should be the focus because winning that will give them far more flexibility in 2025-26. Winning the FA Cup is a nice day out and finishing 13th as opposed to 15th is worth £6m because it is £3m per position.
If I was the chief financial officer and I was in a meeting with the playing staff, I would be saying: "This is what we have to win". This should really form the focus of our attention for the rest of the season.
Is the club in PSR danger?
The fact that the club spent £250m on players in 2024-25 suggests the rumours that have been doing the rounds about them being in danger of a breach of PSR were not valid.
They have loaned out Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia, getting a proportion of wages off the bill for the next six months. They have also signed Patrick Dorgu for £25m and wouldn't have done so if they thought they would be in breach of PSR.
Can Sir Jim Ratcliffe increase his shares to improve the club's financial outlook?
Having seen the original documentation from his investment, I don't think there's much scope for that. What he wants to do is buy out the Glazers, whether they want to be bought out is a separate issue and I'm not convinced they do.
They make enough money from Manchester United as it is, so they don't have to worry about that. They are also convinced that the good times will come back, but they have been saying that since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
What's in it for Sir Jim Ratcliffe? He has control of the club on a day-to-day basis, so he has already got that executive power without having to spend more money on buying the shares.
Image source, Getty ImagesSupporter Jay Motty from The Stretford Paddock spoke to the BBC's Football News Show about Manchester United's Premier League game against in-form Everton on Sunday:
"From a United perspective, it is really difficult to be positive at the moment," said Motty.
"Our form at the moment is pretty woeful, our performances have been dire. The one bit of comfort that I can take is that one of better results was against Everton under Ruben Amorim, but you look at it and it was a different manager for Everton then.
"David Moyes has come in and got them going. The fact we are sat closer to the relegation zone to the top four speaks volumes in terms of where we are at the moment.
"It's going to be a difficult afternoon and I'm sorry to say but I'm dreading it."
