After Anfield Win, Neville Sets Top-Six Target for Manchester United

Ruben Amorim points to Brighton as the measure of whether the momentum will stick.

Overview

  • Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring after 61 seconds, Cody Gakpo equalising, and Harry Maguire netting an 84th‑minute winner to lift United to ninth.
  • The victory was United’s first at Anfield since 2016 and their first run of back-to-back Premier League wins under Amorim.
  • Gary Neville said United should aim for a top-six finish, arguing the squad depth and free midweeks without European or Carabao Cup commitments strengthen their chances.
  • Amorim called the result his biggest since taking charge, said it restores belief for supporters after Grimsby and Brentford, and stressed his focus has already turned to Brighton.
  • Dwight Yorke backed a push for the top six, described a top-four return as a remarkable outcome, and warned that United must sustain standards rather than relapse.
