Sir Alex Ferguson has already warned Manchester United about their upcoming 'nightmare'

Goodison Park has been home to Everton for over 130 years, it's one of England's finest stadiums and is steeped in history.

Manchester United have made some memorable visits to Goodison over the decades. Sir Alex Ferguson knew how difficult the ground was for the opposition to play at and he once described it as a nightmare.

“It is always a nightmare going there and it wouldn’t matter whether it was Dixie Dean playing for us," Ferguson said in 2010. “The atmosphere is fantastic, but we have had to deal with it and there is no problem with our record there.”

United drew 3-3 against Everton after those comments and they lost their next visit to Goodison in the following season, highlighting why Ferguson was right to warn against complacency playing in front of a partisan crowd.

There have been 12 visits made to Goodison in all competitions since Ferguson retired in 2013 and results from those trips have been mixed, with United winning six of the games, losing four and drawing two.

Although Everton's 4-0 win in April 2019 is now over four years ago, it's still fresh in the memory because of how embarrassing the defeat was for an Ole Gunnar Solskjaer side that were simply humiliated.

The Solskjaer honeymoon period had ended before that visit to Everton, but the brutal performance meant United had lost six of their past eight games and it condemned them to a fifth successive away defeat.

It also exposed the scale of the challenge ahead for Solskjaer after inheriting a broken dressing room and being given the job on a permanent basis, with an underperforming group slipping back into bad habits.
