Everything We Learned From Man United's Triumph over Liverpool
Monday, October 20th
Manchester United’s triumph over Liverpool at Anfield proved Amorim’s tactics are clicking, highlighting the team’s newfound resilience and areas for refinement ahead of their next challenge.
Key Takeaways
Plenty of positives were learned from this clash. Despite starting only twice for United, Senne Lammens' amazing one-on-one save against Isak and his overall performance established that he can & needs to be United's #1.
United's best lineup is starting to take shape. While they lack fast pace, the defensive display and presence currently is rock solid, as both Harry Maguire and Matthijs De Ligt excelled, blocking multiple crosses and set pieces from the champs.
Looking towards United's 4 signings from the summer, it's no debate that Bryan Mbeumo has been excellent and by far the best signing of the summer. His aggressiveness, work rate, and willingness to track back has filled a major gap and has brought a new dynamic to United's attack this season. Additionally, the win also highlighted the best link-up play between the Red Devils comes from Bruno, Amad, and Mbeumo. All 3 combined were at the heart of every chance, including the opener.
Furthermore, beating the champs proved the Red Devils can beat any team in the Premier League if the little things are done to perfection. Lastly, this victory means TheUnitedStrand is only 3 wins away from finally cutting his hair.
Areas to Improve
It's safe to say this match highlighted many flaws as well. From recent performances, it must be pointed out that Diogo Dalot must be dropped, as his inconsistency on the ball and constant errors continues to be costly for United. Shifting focus to the captain, although Bruno Fernandes had a brilliant 1st half, the intensity of the match wore him down and was constantly dispossessed. As a result, Bruno needs to be subbed off more often and more sooner in order to bring fresh legs and maintain the control in the midfield.
Moving Forward
With Brighton this Saturday (10/25/25), it's important the Red Devils head into the match with the same fire and confidence displayed to the champions. Additionally, they must use everything gathered from the victory to gain a necessary 3 points, keep the momentum flowing, and bring glory to Old Trafford.
