Moyes' reign ended with a 2-0 loss to the Toffees. Baines, who Moyes had tried to bring to United during the previous summer, scored a penalty just before the half hour mark. Mirallas added a second just before half time. The result confirmed Everton's first league double over United since 1969 and saw United fall 12 points behind the Toffees in the Premier League table. Two days later, Moyes was sacked as United manager after just 10 months in the position. Ryan Giggs was appointed as the team's manager for the rest of the season.

Answer: 2-1 away, 2-0 home

The Reds took a two goal lead at half time at the Etihad thanks to a Marcus Rashford penalty and Anthony Martial's low finish on his weaker foot from outside the box. City came back with Otamendi's header but couldn't keep their momentum going. At Old Trafford, Anthony Martial volleyed in Fernandes' chip over the wall at the near post to fire United into the lead, and Scott McTominay latched onto Ederson's loose pass to fire it home into the centre of the net in the 96th minute and ensure United a victory.

Answer: Ben Reeves

Although the United side was fairly inexperienced, with players such as Reece James (no, not the Chelsea star) and Marnick Vermijl starting, experienced players such as Javier Hernandez, Jonny Evans and David De Gea all started the game as well. For the first goal, Evans missed a pass completely, with Reeves eventually finding Grigg who made it 1-0. Reeves also delivered the cross for Grigg's second and played a wonderful pass to Afobe for the third. Afobe also scored the fourth. While Alli did not register any goals or assists that night, he did play the full 90 minutes and impressed so much that by January 2015 he had been signed by Tottenham Hotspur.

From Quiz Downfall: Manchester United 2013-19

Answer: 1.82

United's average points per game in the Premier League in those six seasons was 1.82 (to the nearest two decimal places). This averages at roughly 69 points per season. United's most barren two seasons in this period were the 2013-14 season under David Moyes (where the team managed only 64 points) and Louis Van Gaal's final season in 2015-16, where they only picked up 66 points. Relative high points were achieved in 2017-18, when United were runners-up in three different competitions and achieved an 81 point, second placed finish. (Their best points tally and Premier League finish in the post-Ferguson era up to that point). While they only picked up 69 points in 2016-17, the club did win the Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League. They also lost only five times in the league that year. The period between 2013 and 2019 was a time of downfall for the massive institution that is Manchester United. The club still won trophies in this period, but failed to seriously compete for the Premier League or the Champions League and suffered several poor league finishes by the club's high standards. This period of time will also be remembered as a moment when their rivals Liverpool and perhaps more noticeably Manchester City began to consistently win the game's major trophies while United struggled to keep up.

Answer: Jack Grealish and James Maddison

Grealish and Maddison are the only set of playmakers, as Koulibaly is a center-back, Cavani is a striker, and Sancho is a winger. Interest in Grealish was supposedly cooled after the Villa talisman crashed his car and broke quarantine practices, while Solskjaer needed a leader off the pitch as well.

Answer: Diogo Dalot

Fernandes naturally linked up with another Portuguese player, Dalot, who constantly kept him comfortable while finding a house and meeting his new teammates.
