# Manchester United: Fans fume over Michael Oliver appointment for Everton clash

**After coming away from the Manchester derby with a [hard-fought](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E__EUarCVB4&feature=onebox) three points and winning their last two league games against top-six sides, Manchester United now host Everton at Old Trafford in a bid to continue their recent run of form.**

The Toffees are currently in high spirits following their [3-1 victory over Chelsea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUzta_hm238&feature=onebox) at Goodison Park after Marco Silva was shown the exit door after their Merseyside derby loss, with a resurgent Everton outfit now looking to do the business again when they travel to Manchester on Sunday.

Both sides have a point to prove, but one announcement that has got United supporters feeling slightly pessimistic is the [appointment of referee Michael Oliver](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1204371895250014209?s=21) for the clash.

Taylor, according to these supporters, has a tendency to be overly handy with yellow cards – with fans predicting the same for their bout with Everton.

Here’s how they reacted to the news on Twitter:
