Since the beginning of the season, the Portuguese strategist has always been the center of attention, with the pressure of being fired weighing heavily on his shoulders when MU did not achieve the desired results.

However, Amorim just created the biggest moment in the Red Devils' hot seat, with a 2-1 victory right at Anfield, pushing Liverpool into a mini crisis of losing 4 consecutive matches.

Ruben Amorim said: "MU was lucky at important moments. However, we fought for every ball.

In the second half, the players lost their composure at times. But the main thing was that the team spirit was very high. That was the start of everything.

Sometimes you play more with the ball, and sometimes without the ball. If the spirit is strong, MU can win any game."

Harry Maguire - a controversial choice before the match, proved his mettle, heading in the decisive goal late in the match to bring MU their first valuable 3 points at Anfield since 2016.

Amorim added: "Of course we needed a few moments: scoring first, the goalkeeper saving, a shot hitting the post to start believing we could win this game.

People will feel the difference. Any transition situation, any attacking moment, the players start to believe they can win three points."

However, the Portuguese coach is also quite realistic. He does not focus on this result for too long.

"Now I'm worried about the match against Brighton next week. I only have 1 year of experience so I need to enjoy it. The victory at Anfield only brought 3 points and now my colleagues and I will focus on Brighton."
