Everton Face Manchester United After Striker Transfer Window Frustration

Everton host Manchester United in the Premier League today, following a transfer deadline day that saw a move for striker Folarin Balogun collapse, leaving the Toffees with only one recognised striker.

  • Everton's move for striker Folarin Balogun collapsed after the transfer window closed.
  • The club previously sold Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City and Beto to Fiorentina.
  • Thierno Barry is now Everton's only striker, though Jack Grealish has returned on loan.

Everton are set to face Manchester United in a Premier League clash today, 6 September 2026, at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The match kicks off at 2pm BST.

The Toffees enter the fixture following a dramatic transfer deadline day. A late move for striker Folarin Balogun reportedly collapsed after the transfer window had closed, with the striker walking away from a £40m deal. This comes after Everton had already sold forward Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City and striker Beto to Fiorentina, leaving Thierno Barry as their sole striker. Jack Grealish has, however, returned for another loan spell.

Everton had a promising start to the season with a home win against Crystal Palace and a late draw at Bournemouth. Manchester United arrive after a victory over Ipswich at Old Trafford, where captain Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick.
