"A late victory away to one of their fiercest rivals amid the backdrop of a tumultuous run of results - Manchester United have been here before. At the time, it was a result that felt like a springboard. Instead, though, Amorim's side would go on to lose their next three Premier League games. History repeated itself after they produced another stirring performance away to Liverpool before conspiring to lose three of their next five in the top-flight."
"Amorim, battered and bruised by a torturous 11 months in charge, would not let himself get carried away in the emotion of his side's victory at Anfield, but did praise their spirit as they fought back to secure a crucial three points. I think it was a great win. Not a very well played game from our part, but a great spirit, and that is the only thing I can ask, Amorim said post-match."
"The Belgian kept a clean sheet, United's first of the season, against Sunderland on his debut, while against Liverpool he stayed alert, claiming balls under pressure before saving well from Alexander Isak in the first half. United looked secure in the face of mounting Liverpool pressure and maintaining that solidity will be crucial for Amorim to build something tangible at United."
Manchester United secured a late, morale-boosting win at Anfield, marking back-to-back league victories for the first time under Amorim. Similar past late wins preceded losing runs, creating cautious optimism. Amorim praised the players' spirit while resisting overreaction after a chaotic 11 months in charge. The team showed harmony and fighting spirit that requires harnessing through consistency and familiarity. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens has provided greater security, keeping a clean sheet on his debut and making key saves against Liverpool. Maintaining defensive solidity and strengthening the relationship between Bryan Mbeumo and Amad are identified as priorities to build sustained improvement.
