Everton goalkeeper Pickford: We'll relish Man Utd challenge

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says they must dig in today at Manchester United.

Pickford recognises the defence will be under pressure at Old Trafford.

He told evertonfc.com: "They turned us over at our place earlier in the season, but it is a game we can get after. The intensity in our team is very high and I think we can get right after them.

"They are a top side, but they have a few injuries, so we can capitalise on that. It's always tough to get to Old Trafford and get a result, but we have been good away from home and this is a challenge we will relish taking on."

He also said: "We need to be more clinical and be harsher on ourselves. Also, the goals we concede - the first and second could have been dealt with better. We got countered on the third, so you can't take that into context too much. But the biggest learning curve from the weekend was being better in both boxes. We need to stay hard to beat and take our chances - be more clinical."
