Richarlison's face made a surprise appearance as Everton drew 2-2 against Manchester United on Sunday.

The Brazil international was heavily linked with a move to the Toffees from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, but it didn't materialise.

In the first game back home after deadline day on 6 September, the 29-year-old was spotted on a stadium display board.

Richarlison's image was on an ad board at Hill Dickinson Stadium during the Man United game.

While the Brazilian striker seemed close to a move back to the club, talks eventually broke down.

It seems like the Merseyside outfit are still reminiscing about the Spurs centre-forward as David Moyes is left with Thierno Barry as his only natural number nine.

How Richarlison's face was displayed in Everton vs Manchester United

Richarlison wants to leave Tottenham, but it looks like he didn't fancy a return to the Toffees, with the striker looking at a move away from the Premier League.

The Brazil international spent four years at the Blues before moving to Tottenham.

In an image shared on social media, presumably from Man United's visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium, Richarlison's face was seen on one of the ad boards, with the text "He's Brazilian" next to it.

James Rodriguez's face also appears to be on it, suggesting it didn't have anything to do with the summer transfer rumours.

What David Moyes now needs at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Moyes has a small squad to manage at Everton, at least until January arrives.

It wouldn't make sense for the Toffees not to add more depth to the Scottish manager's squad in the winter transfer window.

Until then, Barry is the Blues' only option up top, which certainly is a predicament.

It remains to be seen what happens with Richarlison at Tottenham, and if he's still available in January, the Merseyside outfit should make a move for him.

Folarin Balogun was left frustrated at Finch Farm and pulled the plug on his possible move to the Blues.

After losing Iliman Ndiaye, Moyes might need further attacking reinforcements, with Brennan Johnson already frustrating fans and Tyler Dibling still unable to break into the team.
