Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has mocked Everton’s aggressive corner tactics in a social media post.
The Red Devils secured a crucial 1-0 away win over the Toffees, elevating them into the Premier League’s top four.
With the top five likely to be eligible for Champions League qualification, Michael Carrick’s squad is on a ten-game unbeaten streak and looks in prime position to secure their place in Europe’s premier competition
David Moyes had clearly identified the set-piece as a United weakness before kick-off.
Because of this, Everton crowded the Manchester United penalty area on each of their 10 corners, prompting the referee to halt the game multiple times due to grappling.
Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire were both fouled by James Tarkowski in the penalty area.
Mainoo reacted to this posting with a comedic comparison between the game and a wrestling match.
The photo sparked widespread reaction among fans.

Benjamin Sesko once again proved his worth from the substitutes’ bench in the victory.
The 22-year-old Slovenian forward came off the bench to net the decisive goal, continuing his extraordinary form as a substitute this campaign.
United’s latest success arrives at a crucial juncture in the battle for Champions League qualification, with the Red Devils capitalising on Chelsea’s failure to collect maximum points against Burnley over the weekend.
Sesko’s strike arrived via a slick counter-attacking move that showcased United’s summer recruitment.

Matheus Cunha initiated the transition with an exceptional pass out wide to Bryan Mbeumo, with three of the club’s new arrivals combining to devastating effect.
The goal marked Sesko’s third from the bench this season, having previously found the net as a substitute against both Fulham and West Ham in recent fixtures.
No player in the division has matched his tally of goals scored after coming on as a replacement this term.
