Manchester United defender Daley Blind admits Everton have never been easy opponents to face since he has been at Old Trafford.

Everton head to Old Trafford on Sunday on the back of a wretched run of form and have not scored in their last three games in all competitions.




Conceding six goals in the last two games, Everton will be taking on an in-form Manchester United side who have conceded just twice this season and have netted twelve goals in their opening four league games.

However, Blind is not expecting an easy run out for his team at Old Trafford and has insisted that Everton have only become a stronger side on the back of a summer of heavy recruitment.
 


The defender also added that Everton have never given Manchester United an easy game since the time he has been at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman told MUTV: “They signed a lot of players and lots of them are good signings as well.

“They are a strong team and ever year they have been a difficult opponent.

“I have played them now for three years and they have never been easy, so I’ll predict a tough game but we are at home.”

Manchester United’s all time top scorer Wayne Rooney will be returning to Old Trafford in Everton colours for the first time since he left the club in the summer.
