Now that the dust has settled on Manchester United's first victory at Anfield in almost a decade, attention turns to what the Red Devils have found the hardest thing to do in the last two years: build some momentum. As satisfying as Sunday's 2-1 win on Merseyside was, it was far from the only time United have overcome low expectations and pulled off a big result against a top team in recent times.
Manchester United could surprise everyone by mounting a Premier League title challenge this season, according to Rene Meulensteen, who was part of Sir Alex Ferguson's staff during six dominant years between 2007 and 2013. Ruben Amorim's side have put together back-to-back league wins for the first time under the Portuguese and have enjoyed statement victories over Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks.
A former Premier League star has recommended Diego Simeone as an ideal replacement for Ruben Amorim, as the Argentine coach 'would have Manchester United working like mad dogs'. Amorim's position as United boss had come under the scanner due to the club's poor start to the 2025-26 campaign, however, the Red Devils have salvaged some pride with back-to-back Premier League wins over Sunderland and Liverpool.
Marcus Rashford could return to Manchester United next summer if Ruben Amorim leaves the club by then, according to former Red Devils coach Rene Meulensteen. Rashford left his boyhood club this year to join Barcelona on a loan deal after he was included in Amorim's 'bomb squad' during pre-season, alongside several other unwanted United stars.
Manchester United captain Peter Schmeichel has urged Ruben Amorim to remove Bruno Fernandes from the captaincy role, as the former goalkeeper questioned the Portuguese midfielder's body language on the pitch. United are on a high following their brilliant win over rivals Liverpool in the Premier League last Sunday as the Red Devils picked up their first win at Anfield in almost a decade.
Ruben Amorim hit back at critics who claimed that he would be sacked sooner rather than later as the Portuguese manager sent out a fiery message after Manchester United's crucial 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield. This was the first time since Amorim took charge at Old Trafford in November 2024 that United have won back-to-back Premier League matches.
With the October international break now in the rearview mirror, club football returned in style over the weekend, with some huge clashes headlining Europe's biggest leagues. Manchester United plunged great rivals Liverpool into even deeper crisis in the Premier League, Bayern Munich got the better of Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker while there were changes of leader in both Serie A and Ligue 1.
The last time Manchester United won at Anfield, Great Britain was still in the European Union, Donald Trump was best known as the presenter of The Apprentice and Leicester City were top of the Premier League. Marcus Rashford had not yet played a first-team game, Arne Slot had not yet entered management and Ruben Amorim was seeing out his playing career in Qatar.
Bruno Fernandes passionately defended Ruben Amorim's tactics amid criticism of the manager's system, after Manchester United registered a "massive" victory over rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. United beat the Reds 2-1 to claim their first win at Anfield since 2016 as Amorim also secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time in his tenure.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has revealed the reasoning behind his surprise decision to bench big-money summer signing Benjamin Sesko for the crunch clash with heated rivals Liverpool at Anfield. Amorim’s team selections were ultimately vindicated after watching his side sensationally beat the Premier League champions 2-1 in a pulsating clash on Merseyside.
Ruben Amorim has incurred the wrath of Manchester United supporters after naming Benjamin Sesko on the bench for a crunch Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield. The Red Devils head to Merseyside in need of goals and another positive result that will help to build momentum, but one of their big-money summer signings is being restricted to an impact role.
Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will continue as Manchester United's first-choice penalty taker, despite costly recent misses against Fulham and Brentford in the Premier League. The Portuguese has scored just one of three from the spot so far this season, the decider at home to Burnley, but Amorim maintains full faith in his club captain ahead of the Red Devils trip to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim has poured cold water on speculation that Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee could leave Manchester United in January. The Portuguese boss acknowledged both players' frustration over limited game time but made it clear that they remain "our players" and will not be allowed to depart midway through the season as he seeks stability at Old Trafford.
Matthijs de Ligt says he has a “good relationship” with Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, likening the Portuguese’s straight-talking style to his own personality. The Red Devils boss has faced criticism following the club’s stuttering start to the 2025-26 season but the Netherlands defender insists his manager is not alone in feeling a pressure which naturally comes with representing one of Europe’s elite clubs.
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini reportedly believes he could be in contention to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United if the Portuguese coach is sacked. The 60-year-old Italian, who led City to their first Premier League title in 2012, is said to have told friends he would be open to a return to English football amid growing pressure on Amorim.
Ruben Amorim has urged Manchester United fans to calm their expectations of young goalkeeper Senne Lammens, after the 23-year-old shined on his Red Devils debut against Sunderland prior to the international break. The United head coach suggested that the Belgian has not yet earned comparisons with club legend shot-stoppers such as Peter Schmeichel, but that he showed "a lot of composure" and could start against Liverpool on Sunday.
