Manchester United star Aaron Wan-Bissaka missed an absolute sitter against Everton on Saturday.

The right-back was starting in place of Diogo Dalot against the Toffees and had a splendid chance to put United a goal up early in the contest.

The Right Back goal scoring curse at Old Trafford continues

Antony’s decent effort from outside the box had Jordan Pickford sprawling but the shot hit the post and rebound out into the path of Wan-Bissaka.

With the goal at his mercy, the ex-Crystal Palace star somehow hit wide that led to groans from the home crowd at Old Trafford.

United legend Gary Neville reacted on Twitter by bemoaning a ‘right-back curse’ at Old Trafford.

Speaking live on talkSPORT, Stuart Pearce said: “Man United will be really disappointed, Everton have had their woodwork rattled and United have had two or three really good opportunities to score.

“Everton are really disjointed at the back, at this rate they will not be coming out of this game without conceding a goal. If I was Sean Dyche, I’d be worried.

“Every time United get in the final third, Everton look at full strength to deal with them.

“And Bruno Fernandes is at the centre of everything for United so far.”

And United fans were left dumbstruck by Wan-Bissaka’s miss in a match that has had a pulsating start but no goals.

One fan said: “Wan-Bissaka missed a shot that was easier than a penalty.

Another wrote: “Wan-Bissaka shouldn’t be a footballer. Tailor go fit that guy well.”

And a third said: “Only if Wan-Bissaka had better shooting.”

Jordan Pickford was called into action on numerous occasions already after a rapid start from United.

Everton’s defence has been non-existent with Antony getting in behind Ben Godfrey on three times in the opening 30 minutes.

Pearce was hugely critical of the English defender, telling Sean Dyche that he has to haul him off or risk conceding.

He said: “I’m just astounded. Godfrey is five yards in his half, he’s looking at the flight of the ball thinking, ‘I’ve got it, I’ve got it, I’ve got it, ohh it’s gone behind me!’

“It’s awful defending. If I was Dyche I would take Godfrey off the pitch. I think he’s having a disaster. Even at this stage of the game I’d get him off the pitch, because he’s going to cost you a goal.”

Scott McTominay broke the deadlock before half-time while Anthony Martial made sure of the result by doubling the lead after coming off the bench.

Everton did not threaten David de Gea at all as they fell to defeat as United went third in the Premier League, though there was a dampener as Marcus Rashford came off injured.
