Life is kind to Manchester United in the United States, but all the good things must end and the Red Devils will return to northwest England soon.
On the plus side, there is also a Premier League summer series, and Manchester United looks to win the second iteration of the preseason. Ruben Amorim's side was forced to lead 2-1 against West Ham United in the first quarter, but they blew up Bournemouth with a 4-1 victory last time.
Chicago's bright sparks left optimism in the Red Devils camp, but despite Everton's preseason struggles, a familiar enemy of David Moyes could drive Amorim's courageous lineup back to Earth.
This is how Man Utd can play in the final summer series against the Toffees.

GK: AltayBayındır– Tom Heaton has won a rare victory against Bournemouth, but the Turkish international is expected to return to Amorim's starting lineup, with André Onana still outside.
CB: Matthijs de ligt– De Ligt does look more comfortable playing in the center of Amorim's defender third, but used the Dutch outside sometimes last season.
CB: Harry Maguire– The British tour started delayed, but featured in both matches. Maguire should return to the starting XI on Sunday.
CB: Aiden Paradise– Arsenal's expenses have been profound since joining the club and may play a major role for Manchester United this season, depending on how Lisandro Martínez recovers from his long-term injury.
RWB: Diogo Dalot– Dalot returns to Amorim's match 2 in Wing-Back against West Ham United. The Portuguese international looks to be competing with Ivorian for a few minutes in 2025-26.
CM: Kobbie Mainoo– The silky midfielder hopes to jump out of the defender's season, but has not yet been dazzled in the preseason. Fortunately, Manchester United's engine room stands out.
CM: Bruno Fernandes– Well, Amorim is continuing to try out his captain role besides this guy. The Mainoo X Fernandes is an interesting pivot on paper, but it may only be used in preseasons.
LWB: Patrick Dorgu– Dane has probably achieved his best since last joining the club. Given the lack of alternatives, Dorgu may remain in XI.
AM: Amad Diallo– The versatile Amad deployed on the frontline of Manchester United against Cherries, making their third night win the game. Bryan Mbeumo should last a few minutes here, but he might be on the bench, meaning Ivorian can be retained.
AM: Matheus Cunha– Amorim took a break on Wednesday after beating Leeds United and West Ham. The Brazilians almost certainly returned to the XI in Atlanta. His first goal is waiting.
ST: Rasmus Højlund– A glimpse of the title, Summer, Summer Run, Joshua Zirkzee's ongoing absence means the manager has few other places to turn around.
