Has Everton ever beaten Manchester United?

Yes, Everton have beaten Manchester United. Since 1995, Everton have won 9 matches across all competitions against Manchester United, according to data from AiScore. In the Premier League specifically, Everton’s record stands at 10 wins, 42 losses, and 14 draws, with 62 goals scored compared to Manchester United’s 124, as tracked by WhoWon.

Head-to-head record overview

  • All-time across all competitions: Manchester United lead with 98 wins, Everton have 72, and 48 draws (Sports Mole)
  • Premier League only (since 1992): Manchester United 42 wins, Everton 10 wins, 14 draws (WhoWon)
  • Total Premier League goals: Manchester United 124, Everton 62
Bottom line: Manchester United hold a commanding lead across all metrics, but Everton have proven capable of upsets—just not enough to swing the overall balance.

Notable Everton victories against Man United

  • 2024-12-01: Manchester United 4-0 Everton at Old Trafford (United win, not an Everton victory—showing the recent dominance)
  • 2023-01-06: FA Cup third round: Manchester United 3-1 Everton (FBref)
  • 2023-04-08: Manchester United 2-0 Everton in the Premier League

The data shows Manchester United have won the majority of recent meetings. The last Everton win came earlier—records indicate Everton have not beaten Manchester United in league play since at least the 2022-23 season.

The pattern

Everton’s 9 wins since 1995 represent just a 12.9% win rate—meaning a neutral fan betting on an Everton upset has been historically wrong nearly 9 times out of 10. That does not make the wins any less memorable, just rare.

The implication: Everton’s rare wins are historic anomalies in an otherwise United-dominated fixture.

Which club did Man United beat 9-0?

Manchester United defeated Southampton 9-0 on February 2, 2021, in a Premier League match at Old Trafford. It was one of the biggest wins in Premier League history and matched the record for the largest margin of victory in the competition.

The 9-0 victory over Southampton

  • Date: 2 February 2021
  • Competition: Premier League
  • Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester
  • Score: Manchester United 9-0 Southampton
  • Goalscorers: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford (2), Jan Bednarek (own goal), Edinson Cavani (2), Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes (penalty)

Other 9-0 wins in Man United history

  • 1995: Manchester United 9-0 Ipswich Town in the Premier League
  • 2016: Manchester United 9-0 in the FA Cup against Burton Albion (first team youth lineup)

The feat is rare: only two clubs have scored 9-0 in the Premier League—Manchester United and Leicester City (twice).

Did Ronaldo join Man U again?

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United from Juventus in August 2021. The transfer was one of the most talked-about moves of the summer window, bringing the Portuguese star back to Old Trafford 12 years after he had left for Real Madrid.

Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United in 2021

  • Transfer date: August 2021
  • From: Juventus
  • Transfer fee: Reported €15 million plus add-ons
  • Contract: Two years with an option for a third
  • Reception: Highly celebrated return by fans and media

His departure in 2022

Ronaldo left Manchester United in November 2022 by mutual agreement, following a controversial interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticized the club’s management and facilities. He subsequently joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in December 2022.

Bottom line: Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United lasted 16 months and was marked by individual success (24 goals in all competitions) but ended in acrimony, a cautionary tale for clubs signing aging superstars without a long-term plan.

Ronaldo’s second stint at Old Trafford remains a notable chapter in both his and the club’s history.
