Everton interim manager Duncan Ferguson is set to lead his team in a rare Premier League victory at Manchester United on Sunday. The team's last win at Old Trafford was in December 2013, with their only other victory coming in August 1992.

According to Ferguson, ending their poor run would be a special achievement, and he's not one to change his ways. 'Yeah, I'm not gonna change, I'm just going to be myself... I'd be on the roof if we could get a win there,' he said in a news conference on Friday.

Manchester United are currently undergoing a revival under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, having beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City last week to climb to fifth in the league.

Despite the challenge, Ferguson remains optimistic, saying, 'It's going to be a big ask but I'm sure we'll give a good account of ourselves.'

Everton is also dealing with injuries, with forward Theo Walcott and midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin facing weeks out of action due to calf problems.
