Overview
- Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield thanks to Harry Maguire’s late header, their first away win there since 2016.
- Post-match analysis credited bold calls including a striker-less setup, recalling Maguire over Leny Yoro, and starting Casemiro after his international travel.
- Ruben Amorim tempered the result by urging his team to focus on stringing three wins together rather than revising season goals.
- Former club figures and pundits, including Mick Brown, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville, warned that pressure will return unless United back up the win, starting against Brighton.
- United have posted successive league victories but remain inconsistent against lower-ranked opponents, sit two points off the top four, and have no European fixtures this season.
