"I think that was the biggest win in my time at Manchester United. It means a lot today, but tomorrow it won't mean a lot. It's three points, and it's a good victory," Amorim said. "We fought for every ball, we lost our composure in the second half, but the spirit was there and that is the most important thing. If you have the spirit, you can win any game."
"Harry Maguire's 84th-minute header sealed a first Premier League win for United at Anfield since 2016, ending a run of nine straight league games without victory (D5 L4). United needed just 62 seconds to get themselves in front through Bryan Mbeumo, but Liverpool's spell of pressure told when Cody Gakpo equalised 12 minutes from time. However, another set-piece proved the Reds' undoing once more, with Maguire rising highest to plant Bruno Fernandes' sensational cross beyond Giorgi Mamardashvili's grasp."
Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield, secured by Harry Maguire's 84th-minute header from Bruno Fernandes' cross. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring after 62 seconds, and Cody Gakpo equalised 12 minutes from time as Liverpool pressured. Another set-piece proved decisive with Maguire rising highest to finish. The victory ended a nine-game Premier League winless run and delivered United's first Anfield league win since 2016, giving United back-to-back league wins for the first time since the end of the 2023-24 season. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has pledged three years of backing for Ruben Amorim, whose 21st win eases pressure ahead of Brighton.
