Manchester United fans erupted in celebration as Harry Maguire’s dramatic 84th-minute header secured a thrilling 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield, their first away victory against their fierce rivals since 2016. The result marked back-to-back Premier League wins for manager Ruben Amorim, who has begun to instill belief and steel into his United side, Softfootball reports.
For Liverpool, however, it was a night of frustration and disbelief. The defending champions slumped to their fourth straight defeat in all competitions, their worst run since November 2014 with supporters beginning to question Arne Slot’s tactical identity and leadership.

Praise, Concerns, and Tactical Notes
Fcbnelli stated;
Good win
Amad is a great player ngl ,I hope we allow Bruno Fernandes to go to Saudi
Not Mount’s best game in a United shirt. Dalot shouldn’t be part of this team next season
Harry Maguire always makes it happen and it’s a shame we don’t see that.

Cookcfc added;
Congrats to Man U on this win. They really deserved it even if I’m not happy about it. Credits to Mbeumo, Harry Maguire and mostly Senne Lammens who ensured this win stays. Looking like he’s gonna have a good stay at Man U.
Rohan Bakiwal gave his breakdown saying;
“Awesome. This was a display of hard work and determination.. 2nd half 25 mins , I thought we were losing hopes! But 2 things:
Bruno is tiring no doubt. Sub him after 45-50 mins in such demanding games.
Mainoo needs more game time to bring back his confidence. He is pivotal.
Fizz Mahmood added;
This club man! Hopefully this is Amorim’s Fergie moment! We all know we can turn up for the big games — it’s the Brightons where we go missing! Every game should be a big game!.

Liverpool Fans Vent Frustration
Ghdersevesbest lammented;
I was criticizing Slot since last season but he had Klopp’s structure and system working for him so people didn’t see. Such a mediocre coaching technique in the last 8 matches.
Diego added saying;
Klopp won the Premier League for us last season. This is Slot’s actual season. He’s terrified of Salah and somehow allowed him to play THAT LONG with nothing to show for it.
Djan Harvol was annoyed with the loss, he stated;
“Last time Man Utd won at Anfield, Sesko was still in elementary school . This had too much of Rodgers / Mignolet vibes. I hope Slot figures it out soon.
After the disappointing loss, Liverpool boss spoke to the press in the post match presser shared via the team’s official YouTube channel,Slot answered pressing questions surrounding the team’s momentum and mentality after losing 4 games on a row for the first time since 2014. Watch full video below;
Kingcontarian was quick to comment on the plaing style, he stated;
Tactically we have no identity. We’re not utilizing Mo since Trent is now gone. The new signings are terrible, and Arne Slot is favoring Dutch players over talented ones like Chiesa. Four straight losses for the first time in 11 years — and to United of all teams.
Lighthouse LFC admitted he his fed up, he stated;
I have stopped reading post-match interviews; they are all excuses. Slot has proven he can’t build a formidable team out of these stars. It’s time to part ways to save the season.
A Defining Night in the Amorim Era
With this monumental win, United not only ended a nine-year drought at Anfield but also reignited hope in their Premier League campaign. Amorim’s men showed grit, structure, and belief the hallmarks of a side rediscovering its identity, after the manager believed he found the key to break the curse at anfield.
For Liverpool and Arne Slot, though, the pressure is mounting fast. A once-dominant side now looks unsure and uninspired and if results don’t turn soon, the echoes of Klopp’s glory days might start to feel painfully distant.
