Ruben Amorim earned his first Premier League win as Manchester United head coach thanks to a 4-0 victory over Everton, with Marcus Rashford continuing his resurgence under his new boss.

After scoring only his second league goal of the season in Amorim's debut match at Ipswich Town in Matchweek 12, while playing as a No 9, Rashford scored twice against Everton on Sunday, thriving in a slightly deeper role to the right of centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee.

Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee, names Rashford in his Team of the Week alongside team-mate Amad, in a line-up featuring players from SEVEN different clubs.

Shearer MW13 TOTW line-up

Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest)
"Made a couple of crucial saves against Ipswich to keep his fifth clean sheet of the season."

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
"Stood up well in his 1v1 duels, and his passes down the right channel to Mohamed Salah gave Man City endless problems."

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
"An absolute rock at the back, totally nullifying the threat of Erling Haaland, and he was a constant threat from set-pieces."

Marc Cucurella (Chelsea)
"Produced a great cross to set up Nicolas Jackson’s opener and contributed to a clean sheet."

Amad (Man Utd)
"Has taken to the new wing-back role superbly, adding two assists against Everton to the one he supplied at Ipswich, while also putting in a good shift defensively."

Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
"What a season he is having! His athleticism was the difference in the midfield battle at Anfield."

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea)
"Took his goal really well and is playing some of his best football under Enzo Maresca."

Kevin Schade (Brentford)
"A hat-trick on his return to the side. Showed excellent composure tucking away his goals."

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
"He was unplayable against West Ham. Scored one goal and set up another two, making it 10 assists for the season."

Marcus Rashford (Man Utd)
"Another two goals in the 4-0 win over Everton. He looks reborn under Ruben Amorim, playing in more central areas."

Justin Kluivert (AFC Bournemouth)
"Held his nerve impressively to score all three of his penalties, which is no mean feat!"

Manager: Arne Slot (Liverpool)
"He’s got all the answers at the moment. Totally dominated his tactical duel with Pep Guardiola."
