Rúben Amorim smiles: ex-Benfica man boosted after Liverpool v Man United | OneFootball

That’s now two consecutive victories for Rúben Amorim. The former Benfica player led Manchester United last Sunday, October 19, in a tough match against Liverpool. However, to everyone’s surprise, the Red Devils managed to overcome the English champions and triumphed by two goals to one.

Thus, the Old Trafford team, which is going through a very challenging period in sporting terms, gained new momentum, building on the victory secured in the previous round against Sunderland (2-0). With this result, Rúben Amorim achieves something he hadn’t managed in over a year: winning two games in a row.

Playing at the legendary Anfield Road, Liverpool, the clear favorite to win, took control of the match; however, Manchester United knew how to take advantage of the few opportunities they had. At halftime, the Red Devils went into the break leading 1-0, thanks to a goal by Bryan Mbeumo in the 2nd minute.

In the second half, Arne Slot’s team chased the result and increased their attacking pressure against United’s goal, which continued to hold firm. Then, in the 76th minute, Cody Gakpo, set up by Chiesa, beat Senne Lammens and leveled the score. However, Harry Maguire, the Red Devils’ defender, had other plans and, in the 84th minute, rose highest and gave Rúben Amorim’s team the win.

With this result, the Old Trafford side can breathe a sigh of relief, hoping to enter a better phase of the season. With six points from the last two Premier League rounds, Manchester United jumped to ninth place, with 13 points, just one point away from the European spots.
