Manchester United just may have its mojo back after a 6-2 weekend romp over Leeds, and the timing is good for that if so.
Quarterfinal action of the EFL Cup plays out across the week, and the Red Devils are billed for the most interesting game in the round as they square off against a worthy adversary in Everton, which is shaping up to be a serious contender in the English landscape for the first time in a while.
Picking up his first piece of hardware for the Toffees is certainly on the docket for Carlo Ancelotti, who is in his second season in the gig.
On the other side, failure to advance on Manchester United’s behalf would be another nail in the coffin of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ever-in-question tenure.
The last time the two tangled, it was for Premier League play in November, and United took the spoils 3-1 on the road.
