Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring for United in the 2nd minute, while Cody Gakpo equalized in the 78th. But it was Harry Maguire who sealed the win with a towering header in the 84th minute, handing Ruben Amorim his most significant victory since taking charge of United."
"Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, lined up with Giorgi Mamardashvili in goal, deputizing for the injured Alisson Becker (hamstring). The back line featured Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, and Ibrahima Konaté, with midfield anchored by Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai more advanced. Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Alexander Isak led the attack. Liverpool were missing several key players: Alisson, Giovanni Leoni, Stefan Bajčetić, and Wataru Endo were all sidelined."
