Overview
- Bryan Mbeumo scored inside two minutes in Manchester United’s 2-1 victory at Anfield, with Harry Maguire netting a late winner for the club’s first win there in nearly a decade.
- Wayne Rooney, who previously questioned the signing, said Mbeumo has proved him wrong and described the forward as by far United’s best player this season.
- Mbeumo joined from Brentford in the summer for a reported £71m after a 20-goal Premier League campaign last season.
- Rooney praised Ruben Amorim’s game plan as spot on and highlighted Maguire’s leadership as decisive at Anfield.
- United recorded back-to-back Premier League wins under Amorim for the first time and sit two points behind Liverpool after eight matches.
